Tangent edges are edges formed between a curve and linear edge; for example, from fillets or smooth edges.

To select the visual treatment of tangent lines, select Camera and render options, then select from the following three view modes:

Camera and render options: Tangent options

  • Tangent edges visible - Tangent edges are shown as solid lines. This is the default.
  • Tangent edges Phantom - Tangent edges are displayed as dashed lines; also known as Font in some systems.
  • Tangent edges Removed - Tangent edges are visually removed from view.
