spline from points, NX7.5.5
spline from points, NX7.5.5
(OP)
sequence:
spline
through points
points from file, select file
OK to proceed
single segment
OK
Chain from All
Then I'm asked to select start point, but I can't pick my new points, even though I can see them.
Any advice?
thanks

What is your selection filter set to?

RE: spline from points, NX7.5.5
- insert->curve->spline
- select through points
- select single segment
- select Points From File
- select the file and click OK
- the curve is now created. You should see the curve now.
- now, when you click on the OK command, you are creating new curve. And since you didn't select new file with point data, NX is asking you for a different method. And that is, selecting the points, that were created with sketch or with insert->datum/point->point.
- just close the dialogbox now, and you will have your curve.
Try this, to be convinced about this procedure:- draw five points anywhere
- insert->curve->spline
- select through points
- select single segment
- do not click on Points From File. Just click on OK. You are moved to the step, that is confusing you now.
- now, select Chain from All. You are now able to select start and end point.
I hope, that this explains and solves the problem.RE: spline from points, NX7.5.5
Sorry, I probably cannot show a picture.
Selection filter: I believe I checked that, but I cannot recheck it now for reasons related below.
Sven: Thanks to you for the same level of detail I offered. I am now getting a different behavior from NX. Although it would give me the points I expected yesterday from the same file, now I get an error dialog that I've exceeded the maximum degrees, and I don't see any points. My file has 112 points in it, and I see the grayed out number 111 in the degree box, but I don't think that is a needed parameter if you are inputting points by a file.
I think I'm to restart NX and see what happens.

I just recommended this page to a colleague
Thanks!
