This work is devoted to the plotting of coupler curves in the environment ofgraphical programs. As there is a large variety of shapes, for the purpose of this study,the authors selected those curves that feature a cusp form. In the research, two softwareprograms were used, i.e., AutoCAD and Rhinoceros with the Grasshopper plug-in.Two types of curves were defined: a fixed and a moving centrode, in which the pointsof the moving centrode define the coupler curves whose cusps are located on the fixedcentrode. In conclusion, two design tools were compared and the curves in questionwere discussed in detail.
