Hello
I would like to know if you have a method to side a spline...
So I received a step with an "artistic" shape that I converted and I have to integrate this curve into one of my pieces.
I reproduced the sketch by superimposition (and copy paste) but how do I quote it and send it to a machinist????
Hello
In coordinates (X,Y,Z) on intermediate points that correspond to changes in direction
Hello
You can dimension your sketch using the "Fully Constrain Sketch" tool, available in the Sketch pop-up bar or in > Dimensioning Tool> "Constrain Sketch Entirely" (see IMAGE)

Alternatively, you can also go to Tools > Spline Tools,
You have a menu that allows you to display other info from your spline, which could make it easier to score!

It's for a drawing.
@ Joss in my sketch it's good it's constrained (I discovered this magic function some time ago lol)
@Tomalan that's probably it but I've never done it
It is an ordinal rating

Hello
if you have to machine an artistic form, it will be done in CN. A simple and effective solution is to indicate that the machining will have to be done according to a digital file (a DXF scale 1 for example) that you attach in addition to your plan.
On the MEP you may put some dimensions so that your machinist gets a first idea.
Yes, I totally agree with Chamade. When it's too complicated I don't get tired with the dimensions, a DXF and presto!
