Contour graphics
As soon as you have entered a contour element,
MANUALplus checks whether the element is "solved"
or "unsolved." A "solved" element is a contour element
that is fully and unambiguously defined. It is drawn
immediately.
"Unsolved" contour element:
„ has not yet been fully defined.
„ MANUALplus shows a symbol below the graphics
window, which reflects the element type and the
line direction / direction of rotation.
„ An unsolved linear element is represented if the
starting point and direction are known.
„ An unsolved circular element is represented as a
full circle if the circle center and the radius are
known (see figure at upper right).
As soon as an unsolved contour element can be
calculated, it is drawn by MANUALplus. The symbol is
then deleted (see figure at lower right).
An incorrect contour element is displayed if possible.
In addition, an error message is issued.
Colors in contour graphics
Solved and unsolved contour elements as well as
selected contour elements, selected contour corners,
and remaining contours are depicted in different
colors. (The selection of contour elements / contour
corners and remaining contours is important when
you are editing ICP contours.)
Colors:
„ Yellow: For solved elements
„ Gray: For unsolved or incorrect elements
„ Red: Selected solution, selected element
„ Blue: Remaining contour
