This method is only available in the part context. The aim is to create planes by distributing them along a skeleton curve according to a pitch and a number.


 


This is the name specified in options naming system for creating names for folders, plans and sketches.

The user selects a skeleton curve, a pitch and a number of planes. If the user wishes to select several contiguous and tangent entities, the SOLIDWORKS function ''Simplify spline'' must be used to obtain the skeleton curve (see ''Simplify spline''). example).

The user can reverse the direction of the curve. .

The planes are distributed along the skeleton curve, perpendicular to it.

All planes are created, even if the entities to be cut are smaller than the skeleton curve.

There are two possibilities for creating plans.

  • ''Entering pitch and number of shots'' :
    • The step between each shot created.
    • The number of planes to be created. If the number of planes entered exceeds the length of the skeleton curve, there is no message, but these planes will not be created.

One option automatically calculates the number of planes to the other end of the curve (the calculated number of planes is displayed and the value is grayed out).

  • ''Equidistant distribution of planes'' :

Enter the number of planes required, and the function will automatically distribute the planes equidistantly along the length of the curve (for information, the calculated pitch is displayed).
