To Create a Wireframe Entity by Connecting Points
1. Click New on the LEGACYWIRE menu. The NEW WIRE menu appears.
2. Click 3D Spline. The Through Points dialog box opens.
3. Click Curve Points in the Elements box.
4. Click Define. The 3D SPLINE menu appears.
5. Specify how you want to connect points as follows:
Single Point—Selects vertices, individual datum points, or points from a datum point array.
Whole Array—Selects all the points in a datum point array in consecutive order.
6. While connecting points, you can interactively add, delete, or insert points in the spline being created by using Add Point, Delete Point, and Insert Point, respectively.
7. When you have finished creating the spline, click Done.
8. Click Tangency in the Elements box.
9. Click Define. The DEF TAN menu displays the following:
Start—Creates the spline curve tangent at the startpoint.
End—Creates the spline curve tangent at the endpoint.
Crv/Edge/Axis—Selects an axis, curve, or edge to specify tangent direction.
Create Axis—Creates a datum axis to specify tangent direction.
Tan Surf—Selects a surface to specify tangent direction.
Srf Nrm Edge—Selects a surface and an edge to specify tangent direction.
Clear—Clears the tangent constraint.
10. Specify the tangency at the endpoints.
11. Select the direction for the curve at this tangency. An arrow then appears at the end of the curve.
12. Point the arrow outward from the curve.
