I am still a rookie at mechanical routing, but I am learning more each day.
I would like to create my hydraulic hoses as straight, then form them in the machine assembly, because some of the hoses will be used in more than one machine location.
It is my understanding that it is possible to add spline points to the formed hose in the assembly, but I can't find anything like that.
Is it possible to add spline points to the spline of a hydraulic hose that is formed in the assembly ?
I am on NX1899.

Thank you for the video link.
In it he mentions adding spline points, but he doesn't show how to do it.
He implies that points can be added to the deformed hose in an assembly, but he doesn't say it for certain, so I wonder if he is talking about adding points to the original part.
Either way, adding points does to an existing routing spline does not seem to be as easy as adding points to a studio spline, so I assume I am missing something here.
