3D-Sketch

[a0r0t]

I created a wire in SW 2004 using 3D-Sketch. How can you modify the shape of the wire by dragging the Spline Control Points? I seen a quick video on this but they didn't go into detail. I just don't see these points???

Thanks!

Andd don't forget the little known forgotten technique of "Move/Size features. It's a toolbar button toggle (there is no menu item for it).

Go to Tools/Customize and select the "Commands Tab". In category, select Features. In the middle is a button with two double ended arrows and a green sphere at the center of each called Move/Size Features. Drag this button to your features toolbar.

Now toggle it on and when you select a feature, such as your swept wire, the sketch show up. Drag the spline points and the model will update.

To get more precise placement of the spline points, switch between the front/top/and side views. You could also split the screen for this purpose.

If you drag your mouse over the spline, your mousr cursor will switch to a Orange Sqaure when your over a point. That is your indication to pick the point and drag it from there.

But TheTicks advice is the fastest way to see points in a sketch.
