Create Lines

create_lines Lines created in the Multi-CAD are visible geometry lines. However, these lines are only for visual effects for Multi-CAD and can't be used to define other features, such as creating a Vector Direction or used as an edge.

 

•Lines can be used to display a fixture, how feature locators will build in an assembly and how the tolerances affect some features.

•Lines can also display the geometric affect of tolerances and display their variation with great measurement distances (ex.: headlamp light projection).
