create command

Syntax

sketch segment create keyword

Primary keywords:

automatic    by-points

Create a segment or a set of segments.

automatic

Automatically create segments from a background geometry present in a set. The background geometry usually represents an imported CAD geometry (e.g., a DXF or STL files).

by-points i1 i2 <keyword>

Create a segment between two points with the IDs i1 and ID i2.

group s1 <slot s2 >

Assign the created segment the group name s1 (in slot s2 if provided, in the slot named Default if not).

ratio f

Set the ratio f (a number between 0.1 and 10.1), which is used to distribute zone lengths along the segment (each zone will be f of the size of the zone preceding it). This setting automatically propagates across dependent segments of regular blocks while Ratio-Isolate is false.

ratio-isolate b

The option only applies to the segments which form regular (3- or 4-sided) blocks.

Set the flag to control ratio propagation. Ratio settings propagate when false (the default). If set true a ratio assignment on this segment will not propagate to dependent segments.

size i

Set the number of zones on the segment. This setting automatically propagates across dependent segments of regular blocks.

type keyword

Specify the curve type of the segment.

arc

polyline

simple

This is the default type (a line).

spline
