Hello,

Is it possible to reverse the tangency direction of the end of a studio spline, similar to the bridge curve command?
I'm beginning a spline curve by just clicking two endpoints in space, and then I want to add intermediate points.
But NX keeps assigning the tangency the wrong way when I click on the G1 constraint (or G2 for that matter.)
I've tried right-clicking the endpoint or messing with the 'specify constraint', but no joy so far.

Any insight on this?

Thanks,
Ben

Just double-click the end points and then double-click the appropriate arrowhead to change the direction, as shown in the attached video.

Excellent - worked like a charm, John!
Thank you so much!
