Partial Framework - Draw Connector

WarningThis page documents exocad's software releases from 2022 on. See documentation for older versions


In Draw Connector and mesh, you click on the refractory model to define curves used in many other tools. You need open curves for lingual bars, clasps, and finish lines, while major connectors, meshes, and extraction sites require closed curves. With the Draw [1], you simply left-click on the model to create points that are connected into a curve. You can also use the "E" key on the keyboard to terminate the curve if you have problems. Ctrl-Z is the undo button.

For closed curves, draw the last point of the curve on top of the first point of the curve while double-clicking to end the curve. If you miss the 2nd click, you can type "E" to end the curve manually.
