Move spline points with Mechanical Routing

I am adjusting the spline points on a hydraulic hose using mechanical routing.
There are times when I move a knot point and the neighboring knot point moves with it, and other
times when I move a knot point and the neighboring points don't move, and that is what I prefer.
I know there is a setting that controls this, but I have no idea what it is.
Can any give me tips on moving knot points in NX Routing?

Did you get this sorted out?
I'm not familiar with the mechanical routing application. However, I know that in the studio spline command, you can select multiple control points then click and drag on one and they all move together. This has caught me out a few times when I intended to only move one control point. Perhaps the mechanical routing works similarly and you had more than 1 control point selected?

Yes, I think I have this all sorted out. When I logged on the next day it worked fine.
The routing spline works very much like the studio spline, so I think it's a matter of being aware of what you are doing !
