Parameterized Curves
A parameterized curve is a line whose Y coordinate can be calculated as a function
of the X coordinate. You can use such lines in your design. For example, you might
need to have one side of the part shaped according to the parabolic function: Y
= X2.
To add a parameterized curve to your design:
- Select a software package capable of drawing parameterized curves
that can export to DXF format.
- Generate the curve and export to DXF.
- In the eMachineShop software import the DXF file.
