How to combine two splines into one?

Hi,

I am trying to get two splines that meet in both ends to become one
spline. Is this possible?

Best regards

use a "fit spline"

In 2004 SP4, yes. In older versions... not sure.

*) Make sure the the two ends that meet are tangent to each other
with a relation

*) Select the point where they meet with your select tool

*) Press your 'Delete' key on your keyboard

You know, I think I misread your post. If your splines were joined
at one end, then it works. You want a 'closed' single spline. Yeah,
Matt's idea is the way to go.

Hi,

Thanks for good ideas. What I have done is to make the end points
tangent and then use fit spline. This makes the splines into one but
if I try to adjust the points the result isn't what I expect.
Especially around the connecting points. I am using SW2003 SP3.

I think it was in 2004 that we got the ability to make constrained fit
splines. Why aren't you using a new version?

Plus, I don't think Mike's deleting the endpoint idea works in 2003 or even
in 2004...

In 2003 and prior, getting splines to follow other control geometry was
kind of a hassle.

good luck,

Yeah, it doesn't work if you are trying to close the spline like a circle.
It does work (at least in SP4) when you want to turn two splines into
one, and the other ends are not connected.

Definitely doesn't work in 2003.
