A couple Spline and text questions

A couple Spline and text questions

A couple Spline and text questions

(OP)
Part Sketch Splines:

1. When I create splines with many control points then copy the splines to other sketches for use on similar parts I cannot get the control points back to edit it.

2. How do I join two sketch splines to create one spline?


Part Sketch Text:

It cannot be this clumsy intentionally, so I must be missing something. I am vectorizing old drawings and the customer expects them to look the same as the originals. That means I need to have text and certain angles (without construction lines). Every other can program I have used allows you to type in text, rotate as needed, and drag it into position. When I rotate text 90 degrees it changes the text to a rotated column. So I tried creating one rotated text object for each bloody character, but then I cannot window select them and drag them where they are needed. If fact sometimes I cannot individually select them.

RE: A couple Spline and text questions


Part Text Sketch;
Open a new sketch
Draw a construction line or curve and constrain as required
Activate the sketch Text tool
Select the line or curve in the Curve section of the sketch text manager. This will then act as the path for the text to follow.

cheers
