But it doesn't work! I tried either with a construction line starting from the end or just passing through the end point of the spline but it says: invalid selection, try again.
You have to create two construction lines at the end of the spline one construction is normal to the otherthen constraint the spline tangent to one of the construction line.hope this helps
Also, u can control curvature at perpendicular point by creating a dimesion at that one. Click dimesion button, pick the end point and place the dimesion with middle mouse button.
I do not recommend using the tangency or orthogonal constraints with
splines. The sketcher does not seem to maintain them when the
sketch is changed. I always dimension the angle of the end of the
spline. Also, you can constrain the curvature of two splines that
meet to be equal, but this doesn't work. The constraint will show
up, but if you do a curvature analysis you will see that the curvatures
are different. If you want equal curvature, you need to dimension
the curvature and set the values equal to each other.
Oh, this is with Pro 2001. Not sure if this is fixed in WF 1
or 2. Just be aware and maybe experiment with these things.
