Updating of splines drawn through curves from a file in NX9
Updating of splines drawn through curves from a file in NX9
(OP)
I have a text file with a bunch of points in 3D space.
I can import these points into a model by doing File->Import->Points from File.
I them fit a spline through these points by going Insert->Curve->Fit Curve and then specifying the imported points in the 'Groups' tab in the Part Navigator.
Now I want to make alterations to or replace the text file with the Fit curve staying associative with the text file.
Is this at all possible?
Thank you in advance.

RE: Updating of splines drawn through curves from a file in NX9
In that attached video I show how that's done using the following workflow:
I start with a Spline that has already been created from a set of imported points. I then import a second or new set of points. Now I edit the original curve by double-clicking and going into Edit With/Rollback and with the 'Specify Points' item selected in the Fit Curve dialog, I simply select the 'Deselect All' icon in the Selection Bar. Now while the 'Specify Points' item is still selected, I go over to the Part Navigator and in the 'Groups' section I select the newly imported set of points and hit OK.

That was exactly what I was looking for.
