Rachael Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Does anyone know how to set a fixed length on a spline? So that when I move one end the spline bends but does not stretch or change length. If so, then can I do this with a spline that has been turned into a "tube" with a sweep? I am using AutoCAD 2010. Quote
ReMark Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) If you were using Inventor then I would say that it is indeed possible but in plain AutoCAD I don't believe so. A thought. Can a spline be constrained in vanilla AutoCAD? Edited January 14, 2011 by ReMark Quote
Ryder76 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I don't think it is possible to get it an exact length. I have had the occasion to have to manipulate splines that were supposed to be a certain length. I would just mess with them going back and forth to the list to check the length and get them as close as I could to the length needed in a given space. A real pima - maybe a wish list item to Autodesk. Quote

ReMark Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I'm shocked. Something Inventor does NOT do? Who would have guessed. Any other program have this capability? Solidworks? Quote
JD Mather Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Solidworks? Nope. (dag gone it why can I give one word answers) Quote
ReMark Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) :Negative? Edited January 15, 2011 by ReMark Meets the 10 character minimum. Quote
