Blend (Arc)
A
Blend
is an arc that connects two lines, two arcs or a line and an
arc. A
Blend
is tangent to the adjacent steps. An inverted
Blend
is
perpendicular to the adjacent steps.
The two steps to be blended can, but don’t have to, intersect or
touch. If they don’t come into contact with each other, check that
the blend radius is large enough to connect them.
Highlight a step within your program where you want to place a
Blend
The
Blend
is added between this step and the previous step in
the program
The blend step can be added prior to adding the
connecting line in the program step, or between two
existing connecting lines. When placed before the
connecting line is added, it will not be displayed until the
connecting line is placed in the program.
