Create spline doesn't create curve on current sketch plane...
Create spline doesn't create curve on current sketch plane...
(OP)
Hi,
I'm trying to create a curve from a set of 3D data points generated in Excel. I've done this successfully by creating a sketch then doing Insert->Curve->Spline->Through Points, but the resulting spline isn't on the same plane as the sketch. In fact splines created this way seem to always lie on the same plane irrespective of the plane of the sketch. Am I doing something stupid? Since I want to use this method to import several curves to create different extruded features I need to be able to control where the curve is created. Or is there some other way to achieve this?
I'm using NX 7.5.
Thanks,
Luke
