Create Toolbar
The following SimplyCam functions allow you to create basic geometry dynamically, ie, by moving the mouse and clicking in the graphics window. Basic geometry includes points, lines, arcs, polylines, splines, TrueType and SingleLine fonts.
Point menu
Creates points entities in different ways.
To access a function, select it from the drop-down menu.
Point position
Create a point at any position in the graphics area. You can enter points using one of three methods: Sketch, Snap and coordinates.
Point Grid
Create points on a grid pattern.
Points Bolt Circle
Create points in a bolt circle pattern.
Line Menu
Create line entities in different ways.
To access a function, select it from the drop-down menu.
Line Endpoints
Click on the viewport to select the start point, move the mouse to position the end point and click.
You can enter points using one of three methods: Sketch, Snap and coordinates.
Line Polar
Create line with angle, length and starting point. In the dialog area:
Line Perpendicular
Create a line perpendicular to another entity directly to a point.
Line Tangent 2 Arcs
Create a line tangent to two arcs. Select both arcs close to the point where you want to create the tangent line.
Line Tangent Angle
Creates a line tangent to an arc with a given angle.
Rectangle
To create a rectangle:
Arc menu
The Arc menu offers functions for the creation of entities arc (including circle and ellipse).
To access a function, select the item from the drop-down menu.
Note
SimplyCam calculates arcs in a counterclockwise direction.
Circle Ct + Pt
Create a circle by defining the center and a point on the circumference.
Circle 3 Pt
Create a circle by defining three points on the circumference.
Circle Ct + Diam
Create a circle by defining its center and diameter.
Arc Ct+Pt+Sa+Ea
Create a arc with defined center point, edge point, start angle and end angle with mouse sketch.
Arco Polar
Creates an arc by defining the center, the diameter, the start angle and the end angle.
Arc 3 Pt
Creates an arc by defining three points on the circumference.
Arc Tangent + Ct
Create an arc with tangency condition of an entity with definite center.
Arc Tangent 2 ent.
Create an arc with tangency condition in the two entities.
Ellipse Closed
Create an ellipse closed with two opposite corners.
Ellipse Open
Creates an ellipse by defining open the two opposite vertices, the start angle and the end angle.
Polyline
A Polyline is an entity created by connecting a set of points.
To create a Polyline:
Spline
A spline is an entity created by connecting a set of control points.
To create a spline:
Vector Font
Vector Fonts (TrueType)
This function create a polylines from any TrueType fonts installed on your system.
To create a set of vectors from TrueType fonts:
Vector Font (SingleLine)
This function create a polylines from real internal Single Line Fonts. The Single Line fonts are special fonts that can be used for engraving text and part numbers.
To create a set of vectors from Single Line fonts:
