Creating Circles
Creating Circles
RevWorks creates circles from a set of three or more digitized points. If you collect more than three points, RevWorks applies an averaging algorithm to calculate the best circle through the data.
To Create a Circle
-
From the RevWorks toolbar, select
,
or select Circle from the RevWorks menu in SOLIDWORKS.
RevWorks prompts you to begin digitizing points.
-
Digitize a minimum of three points, or digitize more points to generate a greater precision circle.
Note: RevWorks automatically creates the circle feature once you digitize the maximum number of points.
-
If you collect more than three points, but less than the maximum number of points for a circle, select
or another completion option to calculate the feature.
RevWorks generates a circle from the collected data and draws it on the active SOLIDWORKS sketch plane.
