Specifies the general properties of the reference curve.
Name
Specifies the name of the reference curve.
Rule
Select the naming rule used to name the reference curve. Select from the following:
-
StdHierarchyChildNamingRule - This name is generated by using the name of the Parent system as a prefix, followed by the interface name and a unique number, generated by the system and appended to the name; for example, Hull-IJRefCurveOnSurface101.
-
StdReferenceCurveNamingRule - The name is generated according to the curve type:
-
Grid Curve - Uses the names of the Coordinate System and Grid Plane as a prefix; for example, Grid:CS_Main:F16-201.
-
Mark Curve - Uses the prefix Mark; for example, Mark-110.
-
Reference Curve - Uses the prefix Reference; for example, Reference-110.
-
Tangent Curve - Uses the prefix Tangent; for example, Tangent-110.
-
Knuckle Curve - Uses the prefix Knuckle; for example, Knuckle-110.
-
-
User Defined - Any text can be assigned; for example, Hull1.
Type
Specifies the type of marking information to be placed on parts.
Reference
Use for general purpose.
Grid (grid plane curve)
A reference curve created using Intersection with Grid Plane is automatically created as the curve type of grid. However, you could change the type. Use to mark off sections of a hull.
Mark (marking curve)
Use in the manufacturing process for special markings such as "No Smoking."
Tangent (tangent curve)
Use in the manufacturing process for special markings for processing and unfolding (such as roll boundaries).
Knuckle (knuckle curve)
Use to control how the plate system is handled in Molded Forms regarding bending or splitting along the knuckle curve.
Landing Curve Definition Method
Displays the landing curve definition.
Parent System
Displays the name of the parent system.
