Style feature curve end points

Question

Hi allWhen you attach a style curve end point to another curve/edge it allows you to set the distance from one end of the reference you attach it to. However, it typically uses the "wrong" end to measure from, and I don't see any way to switch which end it measures from. Is it possible to select either end as the reference to measure from? Or does how you select the reference curve make a difference?WF4.0ThanksDoug BartonSenior Mechanical DesignerParker Hannifin Electronic ControlsElectronic Controls Division1305 Clarence AvenueWinnipeg, MB R3T 1T4 Canadadirect 204 453 3339 x309fax 204 452 7156-www.parker.com/ecd"PLEASE NOTE: The preceding information may be confidential orprivileged.

Hey Doug,If I have understood your question correctly...the "start"of the style curve, and thus the 0 value, is determined by how the curveis create on the screen. I.E. left to right or right to left. In other words the fist point of the curve segment is "zero" and will be the end the length measurement will originate from. It's kind of a bad deal asone never knows in advance all theelements of the superfeature.Hope it helps.In Reply to Doug Barton: Hi allWhen you attach a style curve end point to another curve/edge it allows you to set the distance from one end of the reference you attach it to.
