2018 Create Curve On One Edge Issue

[jfranya]

Hey all...

In 2017, I could be in 2D mode and was able to create a curve and it would match the edge I selected.

 

In 2018, when I create a curve on one edge, it does not match the selected edge...

 

Any ideas why it's doing this? Probably a config setting I'm overlooking. Any help will be appreciated. TIA

Yup, new ability

You'll have to be in 3D...2D will now project to the Z plane Z depth

Ahhh...I see. Thanks for the quick reply.

Is it View dependent ? So from Right Side you could be in 2D....?

It'll be C Plane dependent and wherever the Z is in that relative plane

It takes some getting use to but it's very nice for building containment boundries

We use to have to select the edges project them to a Z depth then trim/extend and screw around till we had a good chain

now you just set a it to 2D set a depth and select your faces and and edges.. they land on your set Zdepth

already trimmed and no duplicates..

Me too........and don't forget simplifying all the splines........does it do that automatically?

yes, where possible
