This function defines a line segment on a lateral surface.
Defining a linear element:
Call the lines menu.
Select the line direction.
Vertical line
Horizontal line
Line at angle
Line at angle
Line in any direction
Enter the line dimensions and define the transition to the next
element.
Parameters
Z End point of the line
P End point of the line – polar
CY End point of the line – angle as “linear dimension”
C End point – angle
W Angle of the line (for reference see illustration)
WV Counterclockwise angle to the preceding element. If the
preceding element is an arc: Angle to the tangent.
WN Counterclockwise angle to the following element. If the
following element is an arc: Angle to the tangent.
