■
If you are changing a curve with nodes placed at a fixed repeated spacing value to a curve with manually
spaced nodes, there is no visible change. However, the nodes have been converted to manual nodes,
so that you now can add nodes to and remove nodes from the curve.
■
If you are changing a curve with nodes placed at a fixed repeated spacing value to a curve with evenly
spaced nodes, you are prompted for start and end offsets. The existing nodes are then recalculated and
distributed evenly. You can now add nodes to and remove nodes from the curve.
■
If you are changing a curve with evenly spaced nodes to a curve with manually spaced nodes, there is
no visible change. If you change the curve, however, the nodes remain fixed and are no longer
redistributed evenly.
■
If you are changing a curve with evenly spaced nodes to a curve with nodes placed at fixed repeated
spacing, you are prompted for start and end offsets, and the distance between nodes. If there are too
few nodes on the curve to fill it, new nodes are created at the specified distance.
Switching Layout Curves
Use this procedure to move a layout curve from one object to another object. The layout mode is retained in this action.
If the layout curve was inserted originally with evenly spaced nodes, the nodes remain evenly spaced on the new object.
If you switch the curve to an object that already contains a layout curve, the two curves are not merged. They are still
separate objects and can be edited separately.
Switching nodes from one layout curve to another
1
Select the layout curve by selecting one of the node anchors.
2
Right-click, and click Switch Curve.
3
Select the object to which to attach the layout curve.
The layout curve is moved to the new object.
Changing the Display Properties of Layout Curves
Use this procedure to change the display properties of the nodes on a layout curve. Display properties you can change
include the following:
■
Visibility (display component is on or off)
■
Layer
■
Color
■
Linetype
■
Lineweight
