Using Length as a Curve constraint

Using Length as a Curve constraint

Using Length as a Curve constraint

(OP)
Does anyone know of a way to constrain a curve by using a length? So say you have a spline between two points and you need the curve to be a specific length... Is there a way to define that length and force the curve to be that long?

RE: Using Length as a Curve constraint

In sketch mode, select all the elements in your curve.  Pick edit/convert to/perimeter.  You will be prompted to selected  a dimension that the system can vary to achieve the perimeter.  A perimeter dimension is created and the selected dimension is changed to varying.
