Question

spline - to impose tangency conditions in the splines at the intermediate points

Hi, I still use the WF4 version and I would like to know if on the latest versions of Creo Parametric it is possible to impose tangency conditions on lines/planes/curves in the splines at the intermediate points as happens for Catia.
The curves referred to are external to the spline profile.
To better understand what I mean, look at this

forget the rest

You can also get there by building but it's quicker that way

HI

As of 7.0, you cannot impose constraints at interpolation points on a 3D spline.  You would have to create multiple splines with constraints on the end points and then create a composite curve.

There is always more to learn.

The Creo features that would be an analog to the CATIA functionality you are looking at are ISDX curves and surfaces. ISDX curves have more control available to them than "regular" splines. You must of course have access to the ISDX Creo extension to use ISDX features.

    I tried using Style but I can't impose constraints on the intermediate points.

    See Attachment

    Maybe it's my old WF4 version that doesn't allow it.

    what is interesting is that they can also refer to external curves and not only to planes or lines that pass through the intermediate point
