Styled Spline

Draw a Styled Spline in a 3D sketch.

Drawing Steps:

1. In a 3D sketch, click the Styled Spline command. The Styled Spline dialog box appears.

1. Select the curve type to create.
2. Click in the viewport to specify the control points of the Styled Spline. The method of specifying points is the same as drawing a line.
   • You can switch planes while drawing. The interaction supports both the Tab key to switch and automatic detection of the plane direction.
   • Snapping to elements is supported during drawing. The types of elements that can be snapped are the same as those for the spline command in 2D sketches.
   • The through points of a 3D sketch spline do not have to lie on the same plane. The resulting curve may not be planar but can bend in space.
3. Click Create, right-click, or double-click the left mouse button at the end point to complete the Styled Spline.
   • Double-clicking the left mouse button: The spline will pass through the last double-clicked point.
   • Right-clicking: The spline will not pass through the last right-clicked point.
4. Control points can have constraints added with other elements:
   • Individual start or end point: Fixed
   • With a point: Coincident, Along X, Along Y, Along Z, Fixed
   • With a line: Point on line, Fixed
   • With an arc or circle: Concentric, Point on curve, Fixed
5. After selecting the Styled Spline, you can drag the control points to adjust the curve shape.
