The Multiple Curves command creates up to ten adjoined curves between two lines.
You can use this command as an alternative to designing alignment curves with spiral sections because the curves can have different lengths and radii.
To create multiple, adjoined curves
- Click Home tab
Draw panelCurves drop-downCreate Multiple Curves
.At the Command prompt, enter MultipleCurves. - Select the first tangent.
- Select the second tangent.
- Specify the number of curves to insert between the two tangents. You can specify a maximum of 10.
- Specify which curve will have a floating length. One curve in the set must have a floating length that is calculated by the lengths and radii of the other curves. This is usually a middle curve.
- Enter the length and radius for all but the floating curve, and enter the radius of the floating curve.
If the results cannot fit between the two selected line objects, the following message is displayed:
Curves cannot fit between the tangents chosen. Press any key to continue.
