Curve Tools tab

Select a curve whilst the Curve Editor tab is displayed to display the Curve Tools tab.

This tab contains the following:

Points panel

  • Insert — Select to add a point between a pair of selected points.
  • Delete — Select to delete the selected point.
  • Select — Select to display the Select Points dialog which enables you to select points which you can then edit or delete.
  • Repoint — Click to redistribute points along a Bézier curve.
  • Renumber — Click to make the currently selected point in a curve the first point. Use this in conjunction with the Curve Tools > Segments panel > Open/Close to choose where to open a closed curve.

Segments panel

  • Edit Tangents — Click to edit the tangents of the selected point in a Bézier curve.
  • Insert/Edit Fillets — Click to edit the fillets in a composite curve containing arcs and lines. This maintains arcs as arcs and does not convert them to a spline. Select a composite curve containing a fillet to enable this option.
  • Open/Close — Toggle to change an open curve to a closed curve, or a closed curve to an open curve. When converting a closed curve to an open curve, PowerMill removes the segment between the first and last point.

Draw panel

  • Point Numbers — Click to number the points on the selected curve.

History panel

  • Undo — Click to undo the most recent change.
  • Redo — Click to redo the last undo edit.
