studio spline constrain in 2D (NX-9)
(OP)
how could we constrain studio spline with through points in 2D? What are the best possibilities and could any one explain how to maintain G1 & G2 continuity?

RE: studio spline constrain in 2D (NX-9)
If the option "Associative" is on, any points snapped will be associated ( Constrained to, G0)
In NX there is no such thing as 2D, all geometry has x,y and z values. You can create / draw objects / Splines with a constant z.
which is "2D".
When you say "explain how to maintain G1 & G2", - what , how and where ?
- Do not try this on a spline in the sketcher, then i understand the question. Assign it to a Studio Spline which doesn't belong to a sketch.

Thank you so much THOMAS for your response,

The spline is changing shape because when you assign more than G0 (positional continuity), the spline poles must align accordingly, depending upon the continuity you've selected. G0 aligns the first pole (endpoint) of splines with target selection; G1 aligns second pole with target selection; G2 aligns third pole with target selection.
If you do not understand any of this and you're going to be using splines, then I'd strongly suggest you attend some additional training.

You typically don't constrain every point of a spline with a continuity constraint - just the ends. Doing so will increase the segmentation and make the spline extremely complex and "heavy". Again, the details as to why and what's best practice are covered in training for these types of things.
Feel free to search this group, as this has been covered a few times over the years and hasn't changed.

You normally only assign G2 at the ends. Or in some odd cases i have matched the curvature at the ends and one intermediate point.
Is the example you provide a test or ?
