The profile shown in Figure 15.1 is quite complex and for clarity’s sake letters are used to designate certain points on the profile. Their X and Y co-ordinates are tabulated at the top left-hand corner of the drawing, thus avoiding a mass of dimension lines. A spline (a series of points through which a smooth curve is drawn) is shown along the top edge of the component. Consult your manual and research the commands that your CAD/CAM system uses for drawing splines.
