Contour graphics
As soon as you have entered a contour element, the control checks
whether the element is "resolved" or "unresolved."
A resolved element is a contour element that is fully and
unambiguously defined. It is drawn immediately.
An unresolved element has not yet been fully defined by the
entered data. Use of the ICP editor
It places a symbol below the graphic window that reflects
the element type and the line direction / direction of rotation
It displays an unresolved linear element if the starting point
and direction are known
It displays an unresolved circular element as a full circle if the
circle center and the radius are known
As soon as it can be calculated, the control converts an unresolved
contour element to a resolved contour element. The symbol is then
deleted.
An incorrect contour element is displayed if possible. In addition, an
error message is issued.
Unresolved contour elements: If during further contour input an
error results because there is not enough information for a contour
element, the unresolved element can be selected and the missing
information added.
If a contour contains unresolved contour elements, the resolved
elements cannot be changed. You can, however, set or delete the
tangential transition for the contour element located directly
before the unresolved contour area.
If the element to be edited is an unresolved element,
the associated symbol is marked selected
The element type and the direction of rotation of
a circular arc cannot be changed. In this case, the
contour element has to be deleted and then added
