Flattening the Electrical Geometry

  • You cannot straighten out an entire Electrical Geometry or Physical System.

  • To straighten out segments created along external curves, flatten the segments first.

  • Multi-profile segments: in order to avoid twisted and impossible configurations, the local V-axis of the profile sketch is kept aligned with the normal direction of the active plane.

  • Mechanical parts: a dashed green line visualizes the link between the segment and mechanical part. Use the compass to reposition the part properly.

  • When straightening out a segment in a closed geometry loop, the loop is automatically opened at the free end of the selected segment and a green line created to serve as a reminder that a link exists.
