To Add a Free Straight Between Two Curves on an Alignment

Add free straights to build constraint-based alignment geometry for the areas of your design that require maintaining tangency between two curves.

This element maintains tangency to both attachment curves (2). There are four possible solutions for this element, depending on the direction of the curves.

To add a free straight (between two curves)

  1. Click the alignment. Click Alignment tabModify panelGeometry Editor Find.
  2. On the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, click Free Straight (Between Two Curves).
  3. Specify the curve element from which you want to add the free straight.
  4. Specify the curve element to which you want to add the free straight.
