mesuring distance on a composite curve
mesuring distance on a composite curve
(OP)
hi everyone,
could anyone solve my case:
I need to divide and mesure distance on composite curves, for example, a line followed by an arc followed by another line.
I use solidworks 2008.
please, help, I really can't find how to do it.

Are all the lines and arcs to be the same length?

thx for taking time.
Here are two sample of what I need to do. One of them is the middle curve of a stair.

Highlight the composite curve in the tree and hit the measure tool ....

If the equality does not need to be precise, a simpler version of CorBlimeyLimey’s suggestion would be to use line segments constrained to be on the curves and have equal length, (think approximating a circle with a polygon). The make path sketch tool may help by allowing the line end points to cross between the arcs.
