Deepak -

There may be another way to do this - what I will show you will seem very awkward and strange... But it works.

Attached is a video - quicker for me than typing. Please let me know if you have questions.

Hope this helps!

Respected Sir,

I got your point,

bt as u shown in video, you select composite curve command...

So, from where ypu find this command..

Any need of config for this command..???

The trick is CTRL-C to copy the geometry and CTRL-V to paste it - this brings you to the composite curve feature. I don't know of another way to get there.

I am intrigued with the suggestion put out by Antonius and will try it out the next time I am able. It looks very promising and more stable and easier to create...

Creo uses datum references to create intent curves. You select curves and make them into a single reference feature by doing this.

I know there use to be other methods, but this one is probably the current direction PTC is heading with this type of feature.

Interesting, I never noticed that feature before. Thanks Antonius!

I was going to suggest setting the filter to "Geometry", selecting one curve, then doing a ctrl-c then ctrl-v to cut & paste, then use the "Details" to select either single entities, or go rule-based, etc.

Is there an advantage to using a reference feature as opposed to a copy?

[TomD.inPDX]

It is a very easy way to pick references -and- modify references for subsequent features.

Greater use of this feature would help solve a lot of failures when references are deleted.

[Patriot_1776]

Yup, I've found the rules-based selection very helpful when projecting or wrapping curves onto surfaces. I just use the "All curves in feature" or "All solid surfaces" options.

Thanks a lot..

i got this new procedure for composite curve...
