Finalizing the geometry
Unwanted lines now need to be trimmed from the final shape.
Select the geometry Trim button from the Modifying Toolbar to
complete the geometry. See "Modifying Tools Buttons:" on page
307.
Select the Trim button from the Modifying Toolbar in
the main Toolbar.
The Prompt bar will ask that the objects to be trimmed should be
selected. Select the two circles.
The Prompt bar will ask what geometry the objects should be
trimmed against. Select the two lines.
The Prompt bar will ask what objects to keep. Select the two
outside radius. Available pieces of geometry highlight as the cursor
hovers over it.
Now touch in an open area in the display. Both inside radius will be
removed.
The geometry will now appear as one continuous line, radius at each
end.
This geometry can now be used to create a shape which can then
be used in a tool path for milling a pocket, or an island. Once
defined, this can be copied, used as a pattern, array, or another
application may apply.
Before creating the tool paths, the shape must be created as
described here.
