Smart Edge (2D Only)

With the Smart Edge constraint on, the SmartCursor finds points on, or at a certain distance away from, a specified edge.

 

To set Smart Edge options:

1.	Double-click the Smart Edge constraint.

The Edge Snaps dialog box opens.

 

Parameter	Description
Use 2nd Vector	Select to use two Smart Edges simultaneously; the SmartCursor drops the old edge from memory when a new edge is set
Use Floating Edge	To set an edge manually, move the mouse over the edge and press the T key; alternatively, move the cursor to the edge and move slowly along its side. When the edge is set, a Smart Edge extension line cue displays. The SmartCursor will intersect the extension line with the other objects and snaps to find a number of points.
Snap to Offset	Select to have the SmartCursor automatically find points at a distance from the Smart Edge, on either side of the edge
Snap to Bisector	Select to find points on the bisector between two Smart Edges, if they are active
Snap to Extension Lines	Select to generate extension lines from smart points perpendicular and parallel to the Smart Edge

2.	Click OK to set the Smart Edge options.
