Trace Construction Lines and Circles

Ribbon: Top Mechanical Draw > Construction > Trace

  • What
  • Draws lines and arcs selecting pre-existing construction lines and circles. These are traced calculating automatically the intersection points.
  • Why
  • To draw lines and arcs without interrupting the command, and trace construction lines and circles already existing in the drawing.
  • How
  • Set a point of departure and divided the entities in the drawing (construction lines and circles). The programme automatically calculates the intersections between the selected entities. Digit RETURN to end selection of entities, then set the path end point.
