Can anyone shed any light on why I cannotmove individual curve pointsin ISDXwiththe curvature analysis tool open? My understanding is thatthe curvature plot should update dynamically, but currently I am having to select the initial curve, check the curvature and close the initial plot beforeediting points thenre-checking curvature??


Thanks
 
You must choose Saved as analysis type instead of Quick. Then when you
choose your references and hit the Check button the analysis will
continue to update and will display as long as you see the Show Icon
next to the name in the saved analysis menu.



You can have a saved analysis for each curve in your style feature and
choose what you want displayed using the Saved Analysis dialog box just
by clicking on the eye to toggle show/hide.

Yeah, they changed this functionality for the worse between 2001 and WF1. Back in 2001, you could click on the Show Curvature icon in the top ISDX toolbar, and as you dynamically manipulated the curves, the curvature updated on screen as well. I liked it when you could toggle the curvature display on and off at will.
