Checks the position, tangent, and curvature continuity between curves.

Messages

The Curve curvature tool prints messages in the prompt line about the continuity at the intersection you clicked:

Curve Continuity Options

Tangency Scale

The initial scale of the lines which show the tangents of the two curves. The actual length of the lines is proportional to the angle times this scaling value.

You can change this value when you use the tool by holding and dragging the .

Curvature Scale

The initial scale of the lines which show the curvature of the two curves. The actual length of the lines is proportional to the angle times this scaling value.

You can change this value when you use the tool by holding and dragging the .

Locator Persistence

Creates a persistent locator that displays the continuity between curves (that is, the locator remains even after the Curve Continuity tool is no longer active). This allows you to monitor curve continuity as you edit curves.

Simple Display

The locator appears only as a green circle (the curves are continuous) or a red circle (the curves are not continuous).

Display

The locator indicates whether the position, tangents, or curvature of the curve are continuous.
