Extend the current sketch with a new involute circular curve.
involuteCircular(
@sketch: Sketch,
angle: number(Angle),
startRadius?: number(Length),
endRadius?: number(Length),
startDiameter?: number(Length),
endDiameter?: number(Length),
reverse?: bool,
tag?: TagDecl,
): Sketch
Arguments
Name | Type | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
sketch | Sketch | Which sketch should this path be added to? | Yes |
angle | number(Angle) | The angle to rotate the involute by. A value of zero will produce a curve with a tangent along the x-axis at the start point of the curve. | Yes |
startRadius | number(Length) | The involute is described between two circles, startRadius is the radius of the inner circle. Either startRadius or startDiameter must be given (but not both). | No |
endRadius | number(Length) | The involute is described between two circles, endRadius is the radius of the outer circle. Either endRadius or endDiameter must be given (but not both). | No |
startDiameter | number(Length) | The involute is described between two circles, startDiameter describes the inner circle. Either startRadius or startDiameter must be given (but not both). | No |
endDiameter | number(Length) | The involute is described between two circles, endDiameter describes the outer circle. Either endRadius or endDiameter must be given (but not both). | No |
reverse | bool | If reverse is true, the segment will start from the end of the involute, otherwise it will start from that start. | No |
tag | TagDecl | Create a new tag which refers to this line. | No |
Returns
Sketch
- A sketch is a collection of paths.
Examples

|> involuteCircular(startRadius = a, endRadius = b, angle = 60deg)
|> involuteCircular(
