Curve Maximum or Minimum
Curve Maximum or Minimum
(OP)
Hey Folks
I have a 'Project Curve' curve of a sketch spline projected onto a curved surface.
I would like to create a point (3D sketch, I suppose) that lies on the Project Curve and is the closest point on that curve to a plane of my choice (my part symmetry plane).
How can I do that?

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm looking for. That sucks. Hmmm.. I'll think about other ways then. I tried using a line in a 3D sketch and making it coincident with the curve and then making a point that lay on both. That didn't work out great.
Thanks for the help!

- From the point in your curve, draw a sketch line to the plane of your choice.
- Draw a second sketch line through the point in your curve, perpendicular to the first sketch line.
- Make your curve tangent to the second sketch line.
Make sure your spline curves away from the tangent point.--
