Converting a curve into a line

Any curve, i.e. circular arc, parabolic arc, Bezier curve and spline can be converted into a straight line, if necessary. SCIA Engineer offers a universal function that converts any curve into a line.

The procedure for the conversion of a curve into a line

1. Open function Convert curve to line:

   1. either click button [Geometrical manipulations with curves] > [Convert curve to line] ( >) on toolbar Geometrical manipulations,

   2. or use menu function Modify > Curves edit > Convert curve to line.

2. Select the arcs that should be edited. It is possible to select multiple arcs at time.

3. Press [Esc] key to carry out the conversion.

Note: If any entities are selected prior to calling this function, the function itself does not require making of any other selection. The function is applied on the selection made beforehand.
