Summary
The CP_FLIPARCS command in CADPower for BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander is used to reverse the direction of ARC normals that are pointing in the negative WCS Z-axis. This ensures that all selected arcs have their normals aligned to the positive Z-axis, preventing inconsistencies in 3D modeling and visualization.
CADPower -> Miscellaneous Tools -> CAD Procedures 1st -> Flip ECS of arcs with negative normals
Key features include:
- Normalize Arc Orientation – Converts negative ECS (Entity Coordinate System) normals to positive in WCS.
- Ensures Consistency – Helps avoid issues related to incorrect arc orientations in 3D modeling and surface generation.
- Batch Processing – Allows flipping multiple arcs simultaneously for efficiency.
- Improves 3D Workflow – Essential for solid modeling, extrusion operations, and correct hatch placements.
- Compatible with Major CAD Platforms – Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander.
Benefits:
With CP_FLIPARCS, users can quickly correct arc normals, ensuring proper geometric orientation and eliminating potential rendering or modeling issues in their CAD projects.
