Hello everyone,
<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I am facing a problem in copying a curve, which has a 3 deg draft in the curve.
When the draft is 2 deg the curve is getting copied simply by copy paste in curve type I am changing it from exact to approximate.

I am getting an error as
 
it tries to approximate the chain with a single spline,
because you have a chain that has a tangency discontinuity of
more than 5 degrees, it cannot approximate it with a single
spline because splines in ProE and many other CAD packages
do not support kinks. tell us what your intent is? there
might be an easier way to get around the issue.

Hi solidworm,
<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />I was creating a Exhaust manifold model for which I had to add drafts. So after adding the draft above 3 deg I was getting this error.
You were right tangency was getting discontinued.
I got the solution for this problem, I just gave a fillet in between 2 draft lines. As shown below after adding fillet curve can be copied to approximately.
