This tool works with Lathe and Loft objects as they support multiple curves.
After drawing a new Lathe or Loft this tool is automatically selected ready to draw more curves.
3.2. Redraw Curve
Redraw the entire Curve.
Replaces the selected curve with the new one you draw.
3.3. Draw Details
Redraw a small part of the Curve.
Replaces a short segment of the original curve with a new drawn curve.
3.4. Trim Curve
Click on the Curve to Trim it to that length.
Trims the shorter side of the curve. If you need to trim over 50% of the length just cut several shorter segments (each shorter than 50% of the curve).
3.5. Straighten Curve Segment

Alternative Ruler Styles
You can use this tool with a number of different styles apart from
Straight. In the
Curve menu choose
Ruler Mode... then pick a style. Each of these will automatically redraw a segment of your curve while trying to match the style shape.
In the case of
Ruler Mode.../Smooth the segment of the curve is smoothed. This is useful for controlled smoothing of a short part of the curve.
