There is a translation error in Spanish in the LOFT tool.

What in English is CENTER LINE, in Spanish is translated as EJE (axis), which leads to confusion and is also incorrect, because a curved line cannot be an axis by definition:

 

Axis:  A STRAIGHT line around which a point rotates to generate a line, a line to generate a surface or a surface to generate a solid.

 

Moreover, in this case, there is no generation of anything by rotation on an axis. The center line is simply serving as a trajectory to swoop a shape in space. Even so, the axis would be the tangent line to each point of the trajectory curve, not the curve itself.

 

The correct translation should be LÍNEA CENTRAL.
