Re: Drawing an abstract curve
Ok, adding a set dimension is a way of constraining it. What I mean is that I would remove the dimensions you have so far(except the 8"). Then, I would use the arc length dimension tool and input your lengths. This isn't necessarily the way you have to do things, the way you have it might work. It is hard to say without being there. Also, don't forget to test your 2D drawing with paper before you waste metal. Anyways, it sounds like you know what you are doing at this point. Try the paper method and if it doesn't work let me know. I'll be thinking about a better way of making this work. Also, have you thought about how you are going to get the metal to flex as you need? I'm not sure what kind of tool will do this. Something to consider before you go to all this work.
