3812. Tutorial 12D ConstructionThis tutorial demonstrates one of many ways in which the 2-dimensional part above can bedrawn in CNC-Calc v2. Since the part consists of a number of similar elements and sinceits part-elements are symmetrical, only a subsection of the part needs to be drawn. Therest emerges from mirroring and finally joining the mirrored elements with straight linescompletes the part.This tutorial demonstrates the use of the following functions:• Draw a rectangle with a corner radius• Draw a circle with known center and radius• Draw vertical and horizontal lines from known points• Offset a circle• Make curves between elements• Delete elements• Mirror elements about lines• Join end points with straight lines• Save file with name of your own choice
