Spline Total Length Dimension

Spline Total Length Dimension

I was asked recently if this was possible and was advised through the Inventor General Forum that it would be worth posting here.

 

The idea would be the ability to give a spline a total length dimension that would be maintained no matter where the pick points lay. I get that there would be limitations but I think it could be a useful addition to the software.

 

Thanks,

Extremely useful for designing systems that use flexible hoses, wires and cables, etc.

It looks also very similar to the idea @ https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideas/the-length-of-flexible-hose-should-have-a-fix-setting/...

 

If it is true, some possible solutions for this idea are currently under discussion on the NDA based Inventor Feedback/Beta forums. If you would like to contribute/validate then please apply for access using this link:
