As long as the selected elements are contiguous (but not necessarily tangent), subsequent selections can be combined:

  • 2D lines, arcs, and sketch curves.
  • Lines, arcs, and 3D sketch curves.
  • Edges of volumetric or surface bodies.


 


By clicking on the reverses the direction (start or end) of point generation on selected entities .

The arrow is positioned at the first point, and its direction follows the vector formed by the first two points. This direction may therefore change depending on the selected entities, the number of points, or the specified step size.


  


If a selected item is not adjacent to the previous one, a message informs the user of this.


 


The selection method uses the options available in SOLIDWORKS, such as: lasso selection, box selection, tangent selection, etc.

As soon as an element is added to the selection, the total length is calculated for information purposes. .


If a previously selected entity is selected again, it is removed from the list. If the re-selected entity is inside the list of entities, the tool also deletes all entities following it:

In the example above, if you select the "Arc1@Esquisse3D1" entity again, all subsequent entities are also deleted ( Spline1@Esquisse3D1, Edge<1>, ...).


By default, points are created in a 3D sketch. If 2D sketch entities (arcs, segments, etc.) are selected, the user can choose to create the points in a 2D sketch. The points are created with a constraint to coincide with the curve to which they belong.
