A Discretize Curves.1 feature is created in the Define in
Work Object.

In the examples below, the input curve looks like this:

When selected, its color is orange. The scan is displayed in black.

Sag:
Represents the maximum distance between the input curve and the theoretical
chord connecting two successive positions of the scan.
Step:
Optional. Represents the maximum distance between two successive positions
of the scan.
Examples:
Sag=0.1 mm, no step

Sag=10 mm, no step

Sag=10 mm, Step=1 mm


Points:
Is the number of positions N. The length of the curve is divided by (N-1,
providing a constant curve-length increment.
Example: Points=15


Increment:
Represents the length increment on the curve.
Example: Increment = 10 mm


Points:
Is the number of positions N. The parameter of the curve is divided by
(N-1), providing a constant curve-parameter increment.
Example: Points = 15


You must specify a main direction (x, y or z) in order to define a
reference plane.
The origin of the reference plane is (0, 0, 0).
Increment:
This is the distance between two consecutive planes. Points are the result
of the intersection of the planes with the curve.
Example: Direction Y, Increment=1 mm
