To Create an Automatic Parting Curve
The Auto PrtgCrv command calculates a best-fitting parting curve based on existing user-created parting curves and a minimum radius.
1. On the DRAFT LINE menu, click Auto PrtgCrv.
2. Pick one or more segments of a parting curve for a given pull direction.
3. Pick one or more segments of another parting curve for the opposite pull direction.
4. An arrow appears on one endpoint of the parting curve, and the system prompts you to specify the outside direction of the curve.
5. Repeat Step 4 for the arrow that appears on the other endpoint of the parting curve.
6. When prompted, enter a value for the minimum radius of curvature for joining the parting curves. The system constructs the automatic parting curve.
