Summary
- Generates an object bound by the Constraint Path.
- The bound curve is identical to the geometric line of the Path Linked Entity, and the object length changes based on the path length.
How to Run
[Curve Library Mode]
- Ribbon Menu > [Curve Library] Tab > [Expression Entity] Group > Path Linked > Create Plane Type
- Ribbon Menu > [Curve Library] Tab > [Expression Entity] Group > Path Linked > Create Line Type
[Assembly Unit Mode]
- Ribbon Menu > [Assembly Unit] Tab > [Expression Entity] Group > Path Linked > Create Plane Type
- Ribbon Menu > [Assembly Unit] Tab > [Expression Entity] Group > Path Linked > Create Line Type
Explanation
Create Path Linked Entities
Create a member using the cross section of an existing User Section along the Constraint Path direction and bound it to the Path.
[Constraint Path]
Path Select the path to which the Linked Entity is bound.
Default Constraint Path : Constrain the member to the Default Constraint Path, which is automatically generated when the library is created.
Main Constraint Path : Constrain the member to the Main Constraint Path that you added after creating the library.
[Tapered Section]
Set whether to create a cross section of the Path Linked Entity.
[Material Type]
Set the material type of the Path Linked Entity.
[Constraint Path]
Set the path to which the Path Linked Entity is bounded.
Default Constraint Path : Constrain the member to the Default Constraint Path that is automatically genereted when creating a library.
Main Constraint Path : Constrain the member to the Main Constraint Path created after the library is created.

[Select User Section]
Set the User Section to use.
Note
Based on the Material Type settings, the User Section corresponding material is populated in the list.
[Assign User Section]
Place the User Section on the screen.
Complete the placement by clicking the Assign button.
Enter the coordinates of the origin point.
Enter a Vector value to consider rotation placement in the User Section
Note
The User Section of the Path Linked Entity can be only placed on a plane in the normal direction from the start and end points of the constrained path.
