Smooth Spline Command
Smooth Spline Command
(OP)
I have created a spline in the sketcher mode, and wish to use the "Smooth Spline" Command, however once I exit the sketcher (as the help has told me to do) I am unable to select the spline once I start using the command. What am I doing wrong?





RE: Smooth Spline Command
The spline is part of a Sketch feature and as such, can not be acted on outside of the sketcher as if it were a separate curve. That's just the way Sketches behave. If you're looking to manipulate a curve after creating it, create the spline as its own feature, manipulate it (smooth) as you desire and then if really want to have it part of a Sketch, then create your Sketch and add or project the spline into the Sketch feature.

Not exactly sure what you mean by converting a sheet body to be "just reference". If you mean that you would like to remove the parametrics (unlink it from it's parents making it non-associative) then that can be accomplished by going to...
Edit -> Feature -> Remove Parameters...
...and select the sheet bodies of interest.
