CST2013: Cover Planar Curve Mode

Modeling: Curves Curve ToolsCover Curve

In this mode, you may interactively select a planar curve that will then be covered to obtain a single face. This face will be stored as a new shape that is assigned to a component.

When you first enter the mode, you will be asked to double-click on a curve to select this curve for covering. By moving the mouse across the screen, all pickable curves at the mouse’s location will automatically be highlighted. As soon as a curve is highlighted, you may double-click on it to make your selection.

You may change the view at any time by using the standard view changing options.

After the curve has been selected, a cover planar curve dialog box appears where you may specify a name , a component and a material for the new shape.

You may terminate the mode at any time by pressing the ESC key.
