Freestyle 'Curve on plane' function missing in V5R20
Freestyle 'Curve on plane' function missing in V5R20
(OP)
Hello all,
I am running V5R20. I'm working through a freestyle tutorial but have run into a problem. In the text it asks me to draw a 'curve on plane' (see attached file) However, I can not find this icon located anywhere. I have scrolled through all available commands in the customization menu but have not succeeded in finding it.
I do have available the other curve functions eg. 'curve on surface', 'curve on mesh' etc.
Does anyone know if this function exists in V5R20? I can't see why it would be removed.

I tried what you recommended but Catia wouldn't recognise the plane as a surface or face. I figured that a possible way to achieve a 3D curve on a plane is to right click the compass and 'make privilaged plane most visiable'. This allows me to select a plane and sketch from it, contraining the curve to that planes position. This method seems to have worked so far for what I required.
There are a number of other items in this tutorial that seem different in V5R20 or don't exist. As you suggested Dassault Systemes may have just changed some terminology or combined a number of common features in R20...
If I run into any major difficulties I'll post again.
Thanks.
