In this sub-syntax, one or several seams are set parallel to an already existing seam or to a limit of the panel.

(LIM= <limit_no>[,<line>]) | (SEAM= <seam_no>) ,M1= <dist> [,M2= <spacing>] [,NUMB= <number_of_seams>] [,FROM= <from_seam>] [,TO= <to_seam>] |
|
|
LIM |
Limit to which the seam is set parallel. |
|
<limit_no>::= <integer> |
|
|
SEAM |
An already existing seam to which the new seam should be set parallel. |
|
<seam_no>::= <integer> |
|
|
M1 |
The distance of the first seam from the limit/existing seam. |
|
<dist>::= <number> |
|
|
M2 |
The partition between the seams if several seams are set. Default value = M1. |
|
<spacing>::= <number> |
|
|
NUMB |
<number_of_seams>::= <integer> |
If the seam is set parallel to a limit, the part of the limit to which the seam is parallel can be chosen by an intersecting line. Otherwise, the seam will be set parallel to the longest straight segment of the limit.
The seam will have the same direction as the limit or the seam when LIM or SEAM is positive, otherwise the opposite direction.
When the seam is set parallel to another seam, M1 > 0 means that the new seam is set to the left of the old one, < 0 to the right.
M2 should always be given without sign.
If several seams are set, the first is set at distance = M1, the second at distance = M1 + M2, see the images below.
Seam parallel to tangent of limit in given point:
Seam parallel to a limit.
Parameters, controlling seams set parallel to another seam:
Seams parallel to another seam.
The seams may start/end at another seam as in seam along line.
