Keypoint Curve Tools > Line Tangent & Perp > Line Tangent from/to Curve
 
 
 

Allows you to draw a keypoint line tangent to two curves.

To draw a tangent line between two curves

  1. Click the Line Tangent from/to Curve icon, or choose Line Tangent & Perp > Line Tangent from/to Curve from the Keypoint Curve Toolbox.
  2. Click the first curve the tangent line will touch.
  3. Click the second curve the tangent line will touch.

    The Line Tangent from/to Curve tool calculates the line tangent to both curves.

    • 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.
