Duplicating circular
■ Centers of rotation: TURN PLUS uses the entered radius for
creating a circle both around the starting point and the end point of
the contour section. The points of intersection of the circles are the
two possible centers of rotation.
■ The angle of rotation is calculated from the distance between
starting point and end point of the contour section.
■ Extending the contour: TURN PLUS duplicates the selected
contour section, rotates it and adds it to the contour.
■ Mirroring: mirrors the selected contour section and adds it to the
contour.
Select ”Mirroring.”
TURN PLUS tags the last element.
Select the contour section by soft key and confirm.
Enter ”Copy in circular series” dialog box
Press OK; TURN PLUS extends the contour.
Parameter (”Duplication through mirroring” dialog box)
W:
Angle of the mirror axis – reference for the angle: positive Z
axis (the mirror axis runs through the current end point of the
contour)
”Info” menu item
The ”Info” menu item opens and closes a window containing
information on ”unsolved geometric elements.”
■ If the info boxes exceed the window size, move to the next/
previous info box by pressing the vertical arrow keys.
■ The ALT key calls the parameters of the last unsolved element,
which can then be edited.
