Constraining a Spline 1

[Brianpore]

Is there a "good/easy" way to constrain a spline in a sketch? Right now I have a dimension going both vertically and horizontally to every control point with a formula for a percentage so when the OD of the hole grows and shrinks the entire spline grows and shrinks that same percentage.

Is there an easier way?

Thanks as always!!

Just constrain the ends and run the spline through the points but don't constrain them. Then select Insert -> Constraints... and select the 'Uniform Scale' option. Now as you move the ends, the Spline should scale in a proportional manner.
