NigelShaw Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi, is there a way of creating a circle bound by tangents only? i have found it can be done with a line but i do a lot of setting out with curved work that require circles tangent to other circles like a clover leaf shape. i can do this in my old cad software quite easily but have not yet found how to do it in VW. i tried selecting object with tangent snap but they still overlap. any ideas or is it the old fashioned geometry set out? regs, NS Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 You may be able to accomplish this with the fillet tool. It works for an arc tangent to two circles. Then you can change the arc length or sweep to full circle. -B Quote Link to comment
NigelShaw Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi Benson, exactly what i was looking for. i had asked a Client of mine who has been using VW for year but he didn't know. his advise was " draw a circle and move it until it looks right"!! the fillet is perfect. Thanks, NS Quote Link to comment
