Draw Alignment Lines

Info

  • We will add some Alignment Lines that we will use to Mirror the circle.

  • You can Mirror the circle without the Alignment Lines, but adding them will help illustrate the process.

  • Click the Line button on the Trace and Draw tab. The Draw radio button is automatically selected.

  • Right-Click on the center point of one of the Lines of the Polygon.

titleLines Definition

The Line/wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942694019tool in Trace will draw a Two-Point Line. 

The Line is defined by two points: Initial Position (called an Anchor) and the Terminating Position (called an Anchor).

After it is drawn, a third point in the Center will be displayed, which can be moved to alter the line into an /wiki/spaces/FrameShop8x/pages/1942509136.

  • Do the same with the other sides of the polygon, Right-Clicking and Snapping to the Center Point then Snapping to the Center Point on the opposite point.

  • Make sure that the Circle crosses over the Lines a little in order to have the Mirrored version of the Circle overlap.

  • If it doesn't, either make the Circle larger or Offset it to make it larger.

titleOffset Definition

The Offset button creates a displacement copy of the selected object a parallel distance away as specified in the Offset Revealfield.

Offset Rules:

Enclosed Objects:

  • The Left < button will offset an enclosed object to the outside.

  • The Right > button will offset an enclosed object to the inside.

Arcs and Curves greater than 180 Degrees use the same rules as closed objects. 

Unenclosed Objects:

For unenclosed objects the arrow buttons depend on the direction of travel of the vector segments, starting from the line’s start point. The Left < button offsets Clockwise and Right > button offsets Counter-Clockwise.

If it doesn’t Offset in the expected direction, click Undo and click the other Offset Direction.

See: Offset Function in Trace

Mirror the Circle

  • Click on the Edit radio button.

  • Hold down the CTRL key and click on the Circle.
