Curve Command Issues

[Wiemannironworks]

I attempting to draw an irregularly curved, randomly shaped part. Using the Curve command I begin picking points and it fills in a nicely curved shape as I go. When I reach the end point of my curves, I click the right mouse button [enter] to end the curve command and change over to the straight line command and my nice curved line disappears. Why? I go through the same process again thinking maybe I clicked wrongly and now SolidEdge crashes when I click on the Curve Command.

This is getting very frustrating. The program crashes every time I try to redo the curve unless I shut down Solid Edge and reopen my file. Can anyone help?

Hi,

I tried what you said in the profile of a protrusion and it did not crash... Do you have more details to describe the shape of the curve, the command and environment in which you are, ...?

May be this related to a video card problem, a conflicting software or an bad installation...

Basically I am working in a sketch plane. I have created a straight line and want to add an long irregular curve to the line that ends at another straight line. I attach the line, generate the curves by placing random points and attach the curve to the end of the second line. I press my right mouse button and it finishes the Curve command. As soon as I click on another command, be it another straight line, another curved line, or even finish my sketch the curved line disappears. If I attempt to redraw the curved line without closing SE first down, it shuts down.

Hi,

Tried again. No crash...

If you close SE and you retry, does it work sometimes ?

The program will work after a restart, but the curved line still disappears as soon as I try any command.

I appreciate the assistance.

You must have a problem of some sort with that computer.

- Check that you have the latest update for SE
- Check that you have the best settings for your graphic card
- Check that you have the latest driver or a certified one for your graphic card
- Try the same procedure on another computer if you can
- Try reinstalling SE

I believe the crash is not due to a SE bug.
