Hello
In a sketch, is there a way to convert a spline into multiple rays?
Thank you.
Hello
By definition, a spline does not have one or more rays in the sense that it is generally understood because it all depends on the way in which it was created.
You have to specify if you have a style spline or a B-spline !
So that we can understand your problem and suggest the right solution, you can post yourself a screenshot of your spline. We had to rate the rays but we have to see how it connects with the rest of the spline.
Kind regards
Hello @d.muller
I know the problem well and after years of research I have not found any automatic solution.
The best way is to retrace the line in tangent arcs over the spline in another sketch or in a dedicated layer of the drawing as needed.
It's still an approximation of the initial route, but with a little practice we're not far from the truth and it's relatively fast (in automatic it would be even better we agree).
I specify that in my case it is a part of appearance so the 1/100 difference on the right and left is not disturbing.
+1 no solutions in SW, on the other hand I trace in arc preferably under dwgeditor (or any other Aucadlike), the advantage is to manage the number of arcs. Same under SW but it's more the tangent side but it can quickly go into a cork between the sides and the constraints.
I have another solution which is in the CAD/CAM software Alphacam which is able to convert curves into arcs. that I get back behind in DWG.

@ Pierre S, That's what I do too. Too bad there is no macro.
@Zozo_mp how do you see the type of spline? My part is imported from a Step file .
Hello @d.muller
As in your message you say """In a sketch, is there a way to convert a spline """
I thought you had a sketch with a spline in it.
To tell you more, you would have to post your file because even with the solution of our colleague @Pierre S , if there is no spline, you have to find another method starting from the walls of the room.
In short, is there a spline or not in the model.
Kind regards
Hello @Zozo_mp
I created a sketch on one side of the imported part. I converted the entities and these entities are splines. I can't put the current model of my part (customer part). I'm going to do a similar piece and I'm posting.
