Use this to ...

• Convert curves in a profile to Construction.
• Convert reference curves back to regular curves.
• Play the video to see a demonstration of how to create curves and change them to construction curves. Do not adjust your volume; there is no sound associated with this video.

 

Key Points

• Construction curves are not included as part of the feature.
• These curves assist you when lining up other curves in the profile.
• When a curve converts to a construction, the line style changes from solid to phantom (dashed).

 

Prerequisites

• You must be in either the Sketch or Profile mode.
