Curves
You can create several types of 3D curves by using these methods:
| Project Curve | From a sketch projected to a model face or surface, or from sketched lines on intersecting planes |
| Composite Curve | From a combination of curves, sketch geometry, and model edges |
| Helix and Spiral | By specifying a circular sketch, pitch, number of revolutions, and height |
| Split Line | From a sketch projected to planar or curved (silhouette) faces |
| Curve Through Reference Points | From user-defined points or existing vertices |
| Curve Through XYZ Points | From a list of X,Y, Z coordinates for points |
You can then use the curves to create solid model features. For example, you can use a curve as the path or guide curve for a sweep feature, as the guide curve for a loft feature, as a parting line for a draft feature, and so on.
