Snap points on an arc
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2022 4:41 pm
I am trying to design a cone template for a shop project, I need to be able to divide an Arc by a certain distance along the arc. I thought about using the divide command or using snap points, but I'm not seeing how to make that work. I don't want to just divide the arc by X amount of divisions. I ended up creating two arcs to create the cone, then printed it to 1/4 scale, broke out the old trusty compass and marked off the 6-secgments I needed. After that I found the angle at the end of the 6th segment. Went back in to DataCAD and dropped a line to match the paper sketch. It works, but I have to believe DC has the power to do this!
I'm all ears and in full learn mode!!
The measurements of the cone I am trying to draw are:
Top opening = 6"
Bottom Opening = 10"
The Hypotenuse measurement is 5"
I'm happy to share the drawing that I have completed so far.
Many thanks!
