Iteration manipulates the length or the value of objects, e.g. the length of lines, contours, the circumference of circles or values of variables.

EUKLID Design therefore holds a list of all basic objects influencing the target object. You can step through (e.g. via <TAB>-key) this list (graphical display) until you have reached the requested basic object. Please confirm this object (e.g. by pressing <RETURN>) and enter the nominal value for the target object: at the expense of the basic object EUKLID Design computes (iterates) the data structure until the target object matches the required nominal value.

This procedure can be repeated as often as desired. If the specific value is not obtained, then it should be approximated in several appropriate steps.
