English term

bounding curve

English to German Tech/Engineering Computers: Software CAD term
Hello,

This is about a menu option for a CAD system. The context is:

The VIEW/CAD INFO menu option ... opens the CAD INFO dialog box. For complex elements such as trimmed surfaces, information about other geometries (base surface, bounding curves) will also be displayed.

I found bounding box = Zeichenbox, and bounding geometry = Hüllgeometrie, but nothing about bounding curves.

Thanks in advance!
Gabriele

Grenzkurve

I have seen this used in a CAD context. Usually given in English as a 'boundary curve'

I have also seen 'Leitkurve' but that does not carry the flavor that you are seeking, in my opinion.

My thoughts from the USA.
