Summary


  • Create clothoid curves in a variety of ways.

How to Run


  • Ribbon Menu > [Feature] Tab > [Create] Group > Clothoid

Explanation


Single - Line to Circle
  • [Creation Method]
    Select the method for creating the clothoid curve.

    • Single - Line to Circle : Creates a basic clothoid curve in the form of a straight line-closed-circle combination.

    • Single - Circle to Circle : Creates an oval clothoid curve between circles when the larger circle completely covers the smaller circle.

    • Pair S-Shape : Creates an S-shaped clothoid curve between two circles when they are far apart.

    • Pair C-Shape : Creates a double oval clothoid curve between two circles when they intersect or are apart.
