TubesT - Nudge Graphic

Ⅰ. Overview

 

The Nudge Graphic function in the Curve Tools drop-down menu allows you to fine-adjust the position of holes on the tube surface along the X-or Y-axis, and to adjust cut-off lines along the Y-axis.

 

 

Ⅱ. How to use

 

1. Select the trajectory line of the tube-surface hole to be moved, then click Curve Tools → Nudge Graphic to open the interface.

 

 

2. Enter the required nudging distance for the X- and/or Y-axis, then click OK

    After applying Nudge Graphic, the original trajectory line will become a white non-cut layer.

Ⅲ. FAQs

 

1. Can Nudge Graphic be applied to cut-off toolpaths?

 

Yes. Nudge Graphic can be used to adjust cut-off lines along the Y-axis, but X-axis movement is not supported.

For non-special toolpath cut-off lines, you need select the cut-off line and click Curve Tools  Nudge Graphic to move it along the Y-axis.

 

 

For special toolpath cut-off lines, you need select the toolpath first and click Profile Toolpath → Nudge(Y) to enter the Cutoff Toolpath Edit interface to apply Y-direction adjustment.

 

 

2. Can Nudge Graphic be applied to bevel toolpaths?

 

Bevels on angle section, channel section, and I-beam section are classified as bevels with special toolpathSuch bevels do not support the Nudge Graphic function; you are recommended to nudge the toolpath first and then add the bevel. 

In contrast, tilt bevels on square tubes and circular tubes do support the Nudge Graphic function.
