easily define spline

1. Step 1:

   This is a very simple the example curves drawn on planes

   

2. Step 2:

   make dimensions the distance of points from each other and from the Centre of reference

   

3. Step 3:

   then we can give your relationship vertical or horizontal, depending on what we need

   

4. Step 4:

   then select the dimension and clicking on the arrow to the point of the curve, we can give the value of the length

   

5. Step 5:

   Another way to define the account to which the arrow is a curve while the dimension, select the arrow

   

6. Step 6:

   then mark the line the center of a horizontal/vertical passing through the Centre of the coordinate system

   

7. Step 7:

   and then after we enter the value of the angle variance arrow to the point of the curve

   

8. Step 8:

   or we make by selecting the arrow and in the properties panel finding, quoted below, we enter the value of the angle in mind that we enter values from 0 to 180 and from 0 to-180 if we wanted to approach it in a second page

   

9. Step 9:

   a little bit differently, we will sketch in 3D when you draw a curve, click anoder the arrow and then we can give its relationships relative to the reference axis, for example, in relation to the axis X

   

10. Step 10:

    or with relation to the axis Y

    

11. Step 11:

    and with relation to the axis Z

    

12. Step 12:

    in the axis of the curved the arc of the fold perpendicular to the direction of the draw

    

13. Step 13:

    or we can used when you select the arrow to its properties and fold it into angles to the direction of its drawing

    

14. Step 14:

    then at an angle perpendicular to the direction of the draw

    

15. Step 15:

    in the sketch 3d we give the value of our arrows in the same way as the sketch plane

    

16. Step 16:

    If you work with spline in solidworks, it is easier to achieve the intended goal of seeing the crest of curvature we can display it by right-clicking the viewing panel to help tools and selecting functions "show crest of curvature"

    

17. Step 17:

    either in the properties panel on the left side of the screen specifying respectively pane with "show curvature"

    

18. Step 18:

    then the Panel can make the scales and the density of the displayed features so here's how easily and pleasantly we define the curves.

    P.S: I'm very sorry for any mistakes in spelling Success in creation of unusual projects ;-)
