Curves in broken views not editable (ST5)

Curves in broken views not editable (ST5)

Curves in broken views not editable (ST5)

(OP)
Hello guys. This is a weird issue.

Inside a draft, as far as I make the sketch for a broken view using just lines or arcs, there's no problem if I have to edit that sketch in the future (for example if the part referenced changes) to adjust the broken view.

However, if I use a spline instead of that, I can no longer move or edit it. If I mix the spline with some straight lines, I will be just able to move the end points of the curve, the rest remains fixed, which is annoying.



For certain drafts, a curved contour for the broken views feels more intuitive, that's why I would loke to solve this, if possible.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

RE: Curves in broken views not editable (ST5)

According to the image it looks like you don't see the curve points at all.
If this is the case, maybe you have turned off those points by mistake in the toolbar. When you click on the curve, the (Curve) Edit Definition toolbar appears. 7th and 8th icon from the left are Show Edit Points and Show Control Vertex Points.
Are those two icons turned off?
If yes, turn those on and you will see edit points on the curve.

Regars.
