Use this option to fit a profile to a defined line.
To begin fitting a profile to a line, follow :
- Menu: Steel > Machining > Fit to line
- Ribbon: ASD - Model > Machining > Fit to line
- Toolbar: Machining I > Fit to line
- Command line: RBCS_FITTOLINE.
The operation of fitting a profile may be performed using either a line defined using AutoCAD® tools or a line defined by specifying 2 points. You can fit several profiles positioned on the cutting line (see the drawing below).
The Cut by line option operates in a similar manner to Fit to line. The direction is indicated by specifying a point on one side of the cutting line, and the operation determines the part of an object that remains after the cutting operation is performed. The difference between Fit to line and Cut by line is displayed below: the drawings show an object before performing the fitting and cutting operations (together with a defined line), and an object generated after performing the fitting and cutting operations.
