| Method
|
Sets how the curve is defined.
- Points —
Traditional MicroStation curve:
"Flat" between the first and second and
next-to-last and last data points entered. In many cases, B-splines are more
accurate and easier to manipulate.
- Stream —
Primarily for
tracing images when digitizing. Many
vertices can be defined without having to enter a large number of individual
data points.
The movement of
the tablet cursor is sampled and data points are recorded based on the Active
Stream Delta, Tolerance, Angle, and Area.The movement of the pointer
is sampled and data points are recorded based on the Active Stream Delta,
Tolerance, Angle, and Area.
|
| Non-planar
|
If on and Method is set to Points, a space curve can
be placed (the active design must be 3D).
|
| Delta
|
If Method is Stream, sets the minimum distance, in
working units, between sampled points.
|
| Tolerance
|
If Method is Stream, sets the maximum distance, in
working units, between recorded data points.
|
| Angle
|
If Method is Stream, sets the angle, in degrees,
that when exceeded, causes the last sampled point to be recorded as a data
point.
|
| Area
|
If Method is Stream, sets the area that, when
exceeded, causes a sampled point to be recorded as a data point.
