Symmetry Axis
Menu: Top > Specials > Symmetry Axis
- What
- Draws line, arc, circle, polly line and ellipse symmetry axis of linear entities, even if they are not parallel.
- Why
- Automatically sets the linetype (Mixed Thin) and, once drawn the axis, makes the set linetype as current.
- How
- Select the entity, a circle/arc or the first line. In the first case is requested the inclination of the axis, while in the second case select a second line and insert the points which will set the axis’ ends.
Regarding the ellipse, to draw a symmetry axis simply select the entity without inserting data.
If you chose a circle, you can draw the centerline selecting, if present, its concentric circle.
From the options you can disable the prompt to choose between 2 two points which draw the ends of the axis of symmetry. If you choose to do so, the projection of the axis will be calculated automatically.
Command: Top_AsSim <ENTER> Select a line or
a circle: (circle) Axis angle <0>: 30 <ENTER> Or
Command: Top_AsSim <ENTER> Select a line or a circle: (line)
Select the second line: First end of the symmetry axis: 3.1
<ENTER> Second end of the symmetry axis: 10.4 <ENTER>

Consider that the ends of the axis are set by the projections of the inserted points. Thus, these points can also not be on the axis. |
