Summary
The CP_INVOLUTE command is used to draw an involute curve, a common geometry in gear design and mechanical engineering. By specifying parameters such as grain tolerance, start angle, and angle to trace, this command creates a precise involute shape.
CADPower -> Draw Tools -> Geometry -> Involute
Key features include:
- Grain Tolerance: Defines the angle interval (in degrees) for point calculation along the involute curve, allowing control over the curve’s smoothness and precision.
- Start Angle: Sets the starting direction for the involute curve, aligning it with a specific angle in the drawing for accurate orientation.
- Angle to Trace: Specifies the extent of the involute curve in degrees, enabling partial or complete tracing of the involute shape.
The CP_INVOLUTE command is essential for CAD users designing gears, cams, or other mechanical components, providing a precise and customizable way to create involute curves with controlled accuracy.
