Edit a conic curve


Edit conic shape using control points

After you place a conic curve:

  • You can use the control point

    to dynamically edit its height and shape within the allowable Rho value range for that shape type:

  • You can change the shape of a conic, hyperbola, or ellipse curve by changing the value in the Rho edit box on the command bar.

  • You also can create a formula to drive the curve shape by referencing the Rho variable in the Variable Table.

  • You can move a conic curve by dragging it by its vertex point.

Control curve length with a smart dimension

You can control the length of the conic curve by placing a Smart Dimension command on the conic curve.

You can then edit the dimension to change the curve length and shape.
