Bézier Curve > Tangential Append (Draw Menu)

This command draws a Bézier curve which runs tangential to a line, circle arc, ellipse arc, or Bézier curve.

After identification, a straight line appears which runs tangential to the reference object. This line is referred to as the "Reference Straight Line".

The first pivot point of the Bézier curve can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing. A perpendicular is dropped from this position to the reference straight line to determine the first pivot point of the new Bézier curve.

The end point of the Bézier curve can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing.

The second pivot point of the Bézier curve can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing.

The Bézier curve is assigned to the current layer. In addition, it contains a reference to the current pen.
