Create fit spline.
Create fit spline.
(OP)
HI,
I am looking to create a fit spline from many non-contiguous curves. Background: A pencil tracing of a simple shape (think outline of a horseshoe)is scanned to PDF. The PDF is run through a raster to vector software to DXF. The DXF is imported into NX 7.5. The result is a set of mostly small lines/arcs/splines with sometimes dozens of various small gaps along the outline. I would like to create a smoothed closed spline by selecting by rectangle or by all.
My best guesses so far...
Option #1
Insert>Curve>Spline>Fit will only pick up existing points. Is there a way to create existing points from the endpoints and control points of all the curves in a selection? Then I could chain via rectangle.
Option #2
Insert>Curve from Curves>Join Curves
This can do the smoothing function, but needs a set of already connected curves.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
