Segments |
Scroll |
In KOMPAS-3D, you can plot:
•Segment by length and angle in plane.
|
The segment plotting commands are combined in a group. While executing a group command, you can switch to execution of another one using buttons of the Parameter Toolbar header. If you’ve selected a starting point of a segment in the current command, it will stay selected when you switch to another command. |
To plot a segment by two points, use the Segment by Coordinates 
.
Step-by-step instructions
1.Set the starting and end points of the segment using the groups of elements Starting point (1) and End point (2) on the Parameters Panel. How to set a point:
•Enter the coordinates or define a point object. The procedure is the same as when creating a point in Rectangular coordinates.
•Plotting a point. To do this, click Build Point 
button located to the right of the field Snap Point. Will start Creating a point plotting subprocess.
The segment is created automatically after the end point is set. Its icon 
appears in the model Design Tree.
2.Additional plotting options (use before the end point is set).
•Selecting a coordinate system to place the segment. To do that, use the Coordinate System section. Details...If you need to maintain the segment position in the absolute coordinate system of the model after transfer to another coordinate system, enable the Maintain Position option.
•Changing name, Colors and parameters of displaying a line segment. To do that, use the Properties section.
3.To complete operation of the command, click the Finish 
.
Segment by length and angle in plane
A segment by length and angle is plotted in a plane parallel to another existing plane in the model. This plane is the base plane of the segment.
To plot a segment by length and angle in a plane, use the Segment by length and angle in a plane 
.
Step-by-step instructions
1.Set the starting point of the segment using the group of elements Starting point (1) on the Parameter Panel. How to set a point:
•Enter the coordinates or define a point object. The procedure is the same as when creating a point in rectangular coordinates.
•Plotting a point. To do this, click the Build Point button located on the right side of the Snap Point field. Will start Subprocess of plotting a point.
After you specify the start point, the position of the plane of the segment is automatically determined: this plane passes through the starting point parallel to the base plane. By default, the base plane is one of the coordinate planes.
2.You can change the base plane if needed. To do this, specify an object in the graphic area or in the Design Tree.
The name of the base plane is displayed in the Base Plane field.
3.Select the end point of the segment using the End point (2) group of controls using one of the following ways:
•set the length and the angle of the segment in the Length and Angle fields (length can only be positive while angle can be negative or positive);
•select an arbitrary point in the space or a point object; the length and the angle of the segment will be defined by the projection of this point to the plane of the segment; if a point object is selected, its name will appear in the Snap Point field.
The segment is created automatically after the end point is set. Its icon appears in the Design Tree.
4.Additional plotting options (use before the end point is set).
•Selecting a coordinate system to place the segment. To do that, use the Coordinate System section. Details... If you need to maintain the segment position in the absolute coordinate system of the model after transfer to another coordinate system, enable the Maintain Position option.
•Changing name, Colors and display parameters a line segment. To do that, use the Properties section.
5.To complete operation of the command, click Finish button.
•You can use the geometrical calculator.
•You can assign tolerances to the values of the operation parameters expressed in linear and angular values. To do this, invoke the Tolerance command located in the desired parameter's menu, or click the 
icon displayed in the parameter field (the icon is displayed if a tolerance is assigned to the parameter value). More details on assigning tolerance...
