NX 9.0 curve on surface
NX 9.0 curve on surface
(OP)
Hello everyone,
I want you to imagine a situation (please forgive me for posting without pictures):
- I have a bent sheet, created by extruding a two-dimensional spline.
- On this sheet, I have created another spline by using "curve on surface" command.
- I also have straight vectors (lines) projected on this same bent sheet.
- QUESTION: I want to make my curve on surface TANGENT to these vectors I have projected on the same surface. But I do not see any options for tangency or any constraints in the dialog box for that matter. Can it be done? Or can someone else suggest another way of accomplishing this? Thank you for your time :)

I will try and snap a screenie that gives the most visual insight.

The little line that is pointed out by one of the red arrows is not on the same surface as the curve. But I need to make my curve tangent to this line or "it's projection on the surface".
Thanks.
