How do you make a spline in Solidworks?

What is the spline tool in SOLIDWORKS?

tool (Spline Tools toolbar) displays the radial measurement of the curve with the smallest radius of a spline. You can set a dimension to fix the length of a spline. You can reference this dimension in custom properties, configurations, equations, and tables, including design tables and BOMs.

Where is the spline tool in SOLIDWORKS?

To access this tool you must be in an open sketch, and have the spline selected in the graphics area. Next, head to Tools > Spline Tools > Simplify Spline. In the dialog box you can either set a value for tolerance and click OK or click Smooth and watch SOLIDWORKS do its thing (always my preferred option).

How do you dimension a spline?

To dimension a spline, you must dimension its endpoints. You need not add spline dimensions if the spline is attached to other geometry and the endpoints are dimensioned. You can dimension spline endpoints using linear dimensions, tangency (angular) dimensions, and radius-of-curvature dimensions.

What is spline in sketch?

A spline is a continuous curve that can be controlled using points; you can have a desired smooth/sharp curve wherever required, even you can have a straight line. You can create a spline through two or more points.
