Curve
Insert a curve between two points.
Properties
Specify the following parameters in the Properties panel.
| Link | |
| Link Number | Specifies the link number. You can change the automatically generated Link Number value. |
| Link Codes | Specifies the codes assigned to the link. |
| Geometry Type | |
| Creation Type | Specifies the type of curve to draw:
|
| Arc Tessellation | Specifies the number of line segments used to represent the curve. Note: This value must be between 2 and 100.

| Geometry Properties | |
| Start Point | Specifies the start point of the curve. |
| Center Point (Arc: General) | Specifies the center point of a general arc. |
| Arc Point (Arc: 3 Points) | Specifies the through point of a three-point arc. |
| End Point | Specifies the end point of the curve. |
| Mid-Ordinate (Parabola: General) | Specifies the distance between the lowest point of a parabola and its vertex. Click [...] to open the Expression Editor, where you can enter or calculate a value. |

Curve Example.pkt
The example PKT contains three curves. In the Flowchart, each curve is constructed in a separate 
sequence. Each curve type is defined by a start point, an end point, and a parameter. To review the curve parameters, select the curve in the Flowchart, and then check the Geometry Properties section of the Properties panel.
