fitting points on a spline

[johnteng00]

Hi guys,

First I have created a PlanarSketch, then I have tried to create a SketchSpline by fitting a group of points. I have got the spline created in PlanarSketch object, however the fitting points are also shown on the spline. could anyone tell me how I can delete those fitting points, or at least don't show those fitting points?

thanks
Eric

I don't think you can get rid of the display of the
fit points.  You can't delete them because that will change the shape of
the curve.

thanks brian.

I noitce that I can't delete them. But it is annoy to see that there so many points attached to a simple spline curve. Is there any possiblity to supress the points when showing the spline?

Unfortunately, there's nothing that I know of that
will let you suppress there display.

with spline, ideally you want the minimum number of points that fit the curve to a specified tolerance. Using all the points you are trying to fit to make the spline is easy, but not the best way to do it. I wrote a macro some time ago that would create a spline with all the points, then remove every other point (except endpoints) iteratively til an error tolerance was met or exceeded.
