4. Click the Parameterization tab.
5. Under Reparam Soft Point, in the Type list, select a soft point type, and provide the following additional information:
◦ Length Ratio—Type a ratio value from 0 to 1 in the Value box to place the point at a ratio of the distance between the curve endpoints.
◦ Length—Type a distance value in the Value box to place the point on the curve at the specified distance from the curve endpoint.
◦ Offset from Plane—Click the Plane collector and select a plane. Type a distance offset from the plane in the Value box.
◦ Lock to Datum Point—Click the Point collector and select a datum point.
