The program recognizes 3-D lines on a designated search layer that define the end points and intersection points. (The search layer is programmable.) 3-D arcs on that layer (or another unique layer) are used to determine the centerline bend radii at each bend. The program also allows you to skip using 3-D arcs in order to build programs with a default radius.
