How to move a point in one sketch to another point to correct an alignment error

[Anonymous]

I have a profile, bit its lower tip does not touch the bows spline and hence I cant loft to it.

Is there a way to move the lower tip to touch the spline?  While I can select the lower tip I cant seem to set a point on the spline to move it to.

So pic one shows the zoomed out view, when I zoom in I can see the error but I cant seem to fix it.  So can it be fixed or how to redraw the profile from scratch so it touches the spline?

You can use the coincident constraint to get them to touch.  while editing the sketch, select the coincident constraint in the sketch palette, select the end of the line, then select the line or point you wan it to be coincident to.

There could be other constraints preventing it from moving.  if so, you will need to delete those first.

And man, you've got a bunch of control points in that spline!  That's going to bite you in the butt latter.

 hi @lichtzeichenanlage

Just to second what @laughingcreek and @TrippyLighting and others have said about the number of control points you have. You really, really do not need that many control points and should explore using spline handles, constraints and dimensions to control your splines. I don't mean to lecture you but I feel it is really important to understand this as you will waste a lot of time otherwise.

The png attached is an example of a model of a Karmann Ghia that required a lot splines for lofting compound curves, many of them 3D splines. These were controlled with only the handles at either end. Please stop using so many spline points in your models, not least because continuing to do so will discourage really experienced users from wanting to help you.
