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.

Paint Curve

Uses the prefix Paint; for example, Paint-110.

Construction Curve

Uses the prefix Construction; for example, Construction-110.

Area Limit Curve

Uses the prefix Area Limit; for example, Area Limit-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.

Paint (paint curve)

Used for labeling the reference curves in the drawings. Select the line and color style expected by your downstream task.

Construction (construction curve)

Used for labeling the reference curves in the drawings. Select the line and color style expected by your downstream task. For example, construction can identify a location for attaching a structure.

Area Limit (area limit curve)

Used for labeling the reference curves in the drawings. Select the line and color style expected by your downstream task. For example, you can define a specific area.

Landing Curve Definition Method

Displays the landing curve definition.

Parent System

Displays the name of the parent system.
