GCSMOOTH (Command)

Constrains a spline to be contiguous and maintain G2 continuity with another spline, line, arc, or polyline.

Access Methods

Tool Set: Drafting tab > Parametric panel > Geometric Constraint drop-down > Smooth.

Menu: Tools > Parametric > Geometric Constraints > Smooth.

Summary

This command is equivalent to the Smooth option in GEOMCONSTRAINT.

Following are the valid constraint objects and points:

  • Spline, line
  • Polyline segment
  • Arc
  • Polyline arc

The splines are updated to be contiguous with one another.

Note: Endpoints of the curves to which you apply the smooth constraints are made coincident.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Select first spline curve: Select a spline object

Curve

Selects an endpoint of a curve.

First Spline Curve

Selects the first spline curve to be constrained.
