KarolR Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I have a long spline, and i try to make a circle coincident at one point, at the beginning, but when i add a tangent relation it selects an other point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Add constrained construction line. Attach your file here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarolR Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 i made a simpler part file. I want to make the circle tangent to a specific point, select every one you like. There is no Nearest constraint, like in Autocad. And, how do i constrain a spline? i gave two dimensions but it isn't enough. Should i dimension every vertex of the spline?

JD Mather Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I do not see construction line as I instructed to create. There is no obvious location for your desired tangent location. More information is obviously needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarolR Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I have made another simple drawing. i don't know what construction line to draw, for example: If i make a tangent constraint between the circle and the leftmost line, the circle snaps with it's closed side to the line. Let's say i want it to be tangent at the other side of the line, what to do? For test.SLDPRT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sounds like you are making this wayyyyyy harder than it should be. This is a sketching environment - simply drag to close to where you want it and then add constraints. Nothing in your sketch is dimensioned. I recommend sketching one line or one circle or arc or something and dimension immediately. Your design intent in not clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
