 |
Segment, arc, circle, ellipsis, rectangle, regular polygon management. |
 |
Possibility of selecting and moving nodes (even more than one node at a time) and changing their characteristics (shape starting point limit, automatic connection, etc.). |
 |
Parallelism and orthogonality management. |
 |
Possibility of defining segments and arcs both by using the mouse and by numerical input. |
 |
Graphic tablet or mouse input resolution grid management. |
 |
Definition of a series of primitives by choosing single entities (also sequentially) or by selecting all objects within the selected square. |
 |
Automatic shape closing (insertion of a segment that completes the shape). |
 |
Possibility of working on different shapes at the same time (multiple windows management). |
 |
Cut & Paste of a set of primitives from one shape to the other, with possibility of specifying an absolute or relative insertion point, or by dragging with the mouse. |
 |
Interpolation between a set of points and a spline curve, with possibility of adding points, moving and deleting existing points, creating a spline from a sequence of segments or arcs. |
 |
Mirroring, vertical, horizontal or from a symmetry axis, of a set of primitives, of selected entities or of the entire shape. |
 |
Rotation of a set of primitives. |
 |
Interface towards graphic tablet and drafting machine. |
 |
Direct interface towards the NC machine. |
 |
Connection between two segments or arcs, even not consecutive, with settable radium. |
 |
Optimized management of consecutive arcs tangency. |
 |
Possibility of defining an arc or circle tangent to preceding entities. |
 |
Possibility of breaking a segment or an arc deleting a part of it. |
 |
Graphic primitives trimming (with cancellation of selected parts). |
 |
Edge automatic trimming (for anticipating square cutting). |
 |
Offset (useful for shapes to be grinded). |
 |
Simplified holes management. |
 |
Calculation of the length of selected entities (useful for channels). |
 |
Possibility of changing one end or one segment or arc length, with automatic linking to connected segments. |
 |
Possibility of changing the rotation direction of arcs, curvature and radius. |
 |
Possibility of dividing segments and arcs in equal parts. |
 |
High configurability (e.g. definition of an automatic connection to make the movement of cutting heads faster, eliminating the upward rotation movement). |
 |
Zoom functions (+/-, window, general overview always displayed if selected). |
 |
Entities gathering or separation function. |
 |
Construction line management, i.e. entities that have nothing to do with the NC. |
 |
Shape duplication function (lines and columns), with possible optimal rotation to minimize the square dimensions. |
 |
Automatic shape duplication, to minimize the rectangle circumscribing the duplicated shape. |
 |
Nesting aid: rotation and displacement of a simplified shape, with the indication of the minimum distance from another shape. |
 |
Possibility of cancelling the last 100 changes in case of mistakes (undo and redo). |
 |
Before saving, checking of possible superposed elements and displaying of these elements. |
 |
Possibility of query on primitives (starting, ending, circle centre, curvature, radius, base and height coordinates). |
 |
Customized shape library management. |
 |
Shape printing. |
