Studio Spline -NX8.5 2

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can suggest how you re-order points in a studio spline?

Cheers,

I thought you could just move them up and down in the little dialog box? Alternatively create a new spline on top of the old one with your selection intent set to 'control points', then replace the feature.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to allow you to toggle their position from within dialog box...

I assume that you're talking about a situation where you've defined a Studio Spline through a set of existing Point objects and you now would like to swaps say the order of a couple of the points, correct?

Let's say you have a spline through 7 existing points but afterwards you decided the numbers 5 and 6 were selected in the wrong order. See the attached video showing how to do this. Note that I'm using QuickPick to reselect both the actual points and the knot points of the Studio Spline when I perform the editing operation.

The video was very helpful. Thanks John

Here's how i would have done a similar action as to what John showed.
drag one of the two sideways off the "point" then drag the correct one to that point etc.
The attachment is a Flash movie, open it with Internet Explorer and it will play. ( do not try any movie tool, they will not work.)
Maybe a slightly more intuitive method.
