Albatross 3D - 2D Curve

2D Curve Toolbox

2D Curve toolbox. Look at the curves chapter for more explanations on this toolbox.
rc Key: tbx2dCurve


rc Key: curve2dEditGroup

Select curves
rc Key: curve2dSel
shortkey: s
Selects curves. One of the selected curves can be dragged by one of its handle.
Move the selected shapes
rc Key: curve2dMove
shortkey: M
Move the selected curves by dragging one of their points.
Rotate the selected shapes
rc Key: curve2dRot
shortkey: O
Rotates the selected curves by dragging one of their points.
Scale the selected shapes
rc Key: curve2dScale
shortkey: S
Scales the selected curves. There is 2 kind of scalings: uniform scaling and non-uniform scaling. 'uniform' scaling scales the selected curves identicaly in both axes. 'non-uniform' sacling scales the selected curves differently on both axes. Albatross 3D asks for the wanted scaling type the user wants when the tool is opened.
Duplicate the selected shapes
rc Key: curve2dDup
shortkey: Ctrl d
Duplicates the selected curves. Just drag one of their points, and a copy of them will follow the mouse.
Edit the points of the last selected shape
rc Key: curve2dPoints
Opens the 2D curve toolbox. There trhe user can edit the points and their tangent of the laste selected curve.
Remove the selected shapes
rc Key: curve2dDel
shortkey: Delete


rc Key: curve2dPtAddGroup

Draw Curve
rc Key: curve2dAddDraw

Add a Rectangle
rc Key: curve2dAddRectangle

Add a Circle
rc Key: curve2dAddCircle

Add a Polygon
rc Key: curve2dAddPolygon

Add a Text
rc Key: curve2dAddText


rc Key: curve2dToolsGroup

Boolean operation on the last two selected shapes
rc Key: curve2dBool
Opens the 'Boolean' window. There, the user can performs boolean operations on the last two selected curves.
Add point at intersections of the last two selected shapes
rc Key: curve2dIntersec
Adds points at the intersections of the last two selected curves.

rc Key: curve2dParalel
Not done Yet
Group the selected shapes into one shape
rc Key: curve2dGroup
Groups the selected curves into one curve. If one curve is totaly inside another one, the inside curve defines a hole inside the outside one. Otherwise, the two curves are simply grouped together.
Ungroup the selected shape
rc Key: curve2dUngroup
Ungroups the selected curves if they are grouped curves.

rc Key: curve2dToolboxGroup

Load shapes from file (.s2d)
rc Key: curve2dLoad
Loads curves from file (.s2d)
Save shapes to file (.s2d)
rc Key: curve2dSave
Saves the current curves to a file (.s2d)
Proceed
rc Key: curve2dOk
shortkey: Enter
Proceeds. The operation depends on the tool that opened the 2d curve toolbox.
Cancel
rc Key: curve2dCancel
shortkey: Esc
Cancels the curve add/edit operation.
