How to use bridge curve radius constraint?
How to use bridge curve radius constraint?
(OP)
I would like to set a minimum radius of a bridge curve, but no matter what I do the type/value fields are grayed out and unavailable. How can I use this feature?

There is no method in bridge curves that controls minimum radius value as I understand it the values you may input relate more to percentages except for the rho value in the conic curve.

My curves ARE coplanar (intersection of a plane and two surfaces) but the option never becomes available.

Try it out by creating 2 arbitrary curves on the WCS. If that works for you, but it still doesn't work on the original curves - I'd take a closer look at the original 'intersection' curves. They may not be truly planar and/or coplanar. Also, if the original intersection curve is tolerant, NX may not be able to find a bridge curve (with radius constraint) solution within the specified modeling tolerance (just guessing here).

If it works on your end maybe you could post a model to see if its editable here?

I instanced a sketch and rotated it 90° around 0,0,0 and I could still create a minimum radius bridge curve. I changed the rotation angle to 38° and NO DICE. I changed the rotation angle back to 90° and moved the rotation point off absolute zero, works fine.
So it looks like the input curves must be coplanar, AND that plane must be paralell with the WCS (or abs?). Some restrictions may apply, not valid in ME, NM, or WY.
