Question

sketcher-help

I have some problem with sketcher.please help: 1-How can I snap an end point of a line to a spline? I can only snap to lines, arcs and spline endpoints (not to the curve itself) 2-i also want to add a tangent relation between a line and a spline but I cant. (again not at the end point)

    Hi, I hv not tried this. Probably, u can create two sketches. 1. Ur spline in the first curve. 2. Take referance of this curve in the second and both ur problems may be solved.. HTH Joe

    Depending on what else controls your situation, there are a few ways to deal with this. For example, create the spline as a separate curve, as suggested. Then create a second curve, do a Use Edge to copy the spline, place a Sketcher Point on the curve, trim away the curve to one side of the point, then create a line tangent to the end of this second truncated version of your spline. Good luck, David
