Allows you to draw a keypoint
line tangent to an existing curve.
To draw a line tangent
to a curve
- Click the Line Tangent to Curve icon, or choose Line
Tangent & Perp > Line Tangent to Curve from the Keypoint
Curve Toolbox.
- Click the start point of the tangent
line.
- Click the curve you want the line to
be tangent to.
The Line
Tangent to Curve tool calculates the end point for the
line to be tangent to that curve.
- If it cannot find a tangent, it prints
a message in the prompt line.
- If it finds more than one tangent, it
uses the tangent closest to where you clicked.
