.
If the endpoints of the path segments do not match up, PathMaster® will ask to match up
the endpoints and the polyline will use the best fit. If you do not to match up the endpoints
the polyline will not be made. Refer to Figure 101.
The tool used for the first segment and the θ
(Theta) position, will be used for the 3D
Polyline command. This function is helpful when dispensing gaskets and odd shaped
adhesive patterns where it is necessary to change height but have a continuous flow of
material.
11. To edit a polyline, double click on the path and change the commands in the edit
window. Refer to Section 7.5.
