Function Plotter (Sines, Cosines, Involutes, Spirals)

Function Plotter (Sines, Cosines, Involutes, Spirals)

Seriously, you guys,

 

Fusion is a great software, i enjoy working with it a lot.

 

A thing i miss a lot is a function drawing wizard!! Sines, Cosines, Spirals (all kinds of, with equal or varying pitch)

 

for example: to draw a spiral, i have to make an actual spiral first, create a sketch,and project an edge of that spiral. if i dont want full turns, i have to calculate the fraction of a full revolution to get, say, 2.xx turns. Also, i cant determine the starting point of my spiral (also not working for coils...!)

 

I also cant draw a sine wave, or the mesh of an involute gear. a spline resembling a sine wave is NOT a sine wave.

 

would also be nice to trace for example a off center dot on a rotating wheel

Maybe a tool like a spyrograph???

 

also, please implement the tangent constraint for non-circle curves (like splines), but it looks like you are already on to this...

 

THANKS!

looking forward to draw a perfect sine in FUSION360

Any type of function should be usable. I'm trying to get the same for hypocycloid drawings and have to develop (like this) a script to do this.
