Join Explicit No Connect Curve

Join Explicit No Connect Curve

File: Part_Document_Scripts/Join_Explicit_No_Connect_Curve.py
Version: 1.1
Document Type: Part (also works with Part inside Product or Process)

---

Description

Joins selected curves into a single curve without checking for connexity. The result is created as a datum (isolated). Use this script when you need to join curves that are not physically connected or when CATIA's standard join refuses due to gaps.

For joining surfaces see Join Explicit No Connect Surface.
For joining a mix of curves and surfaces see Join Explicit No Connect.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Python	>= 3.10
pycatia	>= 0.8.3
wxPython	Not required
Open document	Part, or Part inside Product/Process

---

Usage

1. Open a CATPart document (or Product/Process containing a part) with curves
2. Run the script
3. Select at least two curves to join — click OK when done
4. The joined curve is created as a datum in the current in-work geometric set

---

Output

• Result is named Join_Explicit_curve.N where N is an incrementing number
• Result is a datum (isolated) — no parametric link to the source geometry
• If the in-work object is not a geometric set, a new one named New Join Explicit is created
