line pairs hosting the desired node. This is done by using the keys , , , , standing for the
respective types of construction entities.
In the cases when more than two construction lines intersect in one point but no nodes are created, the
recommended technique is to create all necessary nodes by the command “N: Construct Node”. In this
way, specify the exact lines whose intersections yield nodes. After that, the path segments can be input using
the option.
To reject the last input path segment line, use the option
Delete last Contour segment
All three above-mentioned techniques can be combined when defining a path.
If the end node of a closed path coincides with the start node, then the contour automatically closes and
dehighlights, and an arrow is displayed in the end node indicating the direction of the defined path. This
signals that the path has been completed.
A path can also be closed by using the option
Close Contour
To complete definition of an open path, upon defining all segments use the option
Finish input
To cancel an action of path input, use the option
Cancel selection
Whenever two or more path segments are input in the command “PA: Construct Path”, the right-click
brings up the Right button action dialog box (this overrides the system settings).
In this dialog box one can: “Cancel element creation”, which is
equivalent to option; “Cancel last element selection”,
which is equivalent to option; “Finish element
creation”, which is equivalent to option. One can also set
the flag “Don’t show this dialog in future”. In this case, the dialog
box will not come back again, and the right-click action will be
the one set last together with the “Don’t show this dialog in
future” flag, per the system settings.
The button [Return to Edit] brings the user back to 2D path creation mode.
Note that the same dialog is used in the “H: Create Hatch” command. A default action setting
made in this dialog box in one of these commands will work in both commands. The selected
