create associative curves in 3D for wire routing
create associative curves in 3D for wire routing
(OP)
Hi, I have been given a work in which I need to create a wire with several bends using curves(without using sketch and the curves are not in one plane), and the bend radius should be parametric(fillet in Basics curves wont update with the change in adjacent curve length), Is there any method for creating this type of curves(we do not have licence for mechanical routing). Thanks in Advance.

Assuming you're using a version with NX that has this, Associative Arcs work for us but we typically do not completely re-route the path to the point that the arc's plane cannot be defined (in other words, our bends are planar). We also have the straight section endpoints meeting to form the intersection at the bends and use Follow Fillet with our Curve Rule.
