offset curves

[design-engine]

Stuck in the Hospital
with my little girl sick with Asthma and found a hotspot. It is now her turn to use the computer.



Anyone mess with the new way to offset curves
in WF2.0?

With this image the curve is offset in the surface as opposed
to

offsetting relative to a plane.



I don

Is the offset command specific to ISDX? The offset option is
greyed out in WF1.0 when I pick a surface edge or datum curve.
Must be a WF2.0 feature.

BTW, sorry to hear your daughter is sick

Hospitals are no fun.

I
highlighted the tangency edge (in WF2.0) and did a
CNTL-C and CNTL-V This copied and pasted a curve right on top of
the
edge. Then I used the offset command under the edit pull
down. 'EDIT' 'OFFSET' I used the default to pull on the
grip.View attachment 764

look how the curve dives around the surface and accross tangencies

Nice Bart. I was able to repeat with WF1.0 but I had to use the
EDIT -> COPY command from the menu to get the copy. But then
the offset curve maintained the end condition of the copied curve all
along the surface. Pretty sweet.
