Point on curve |
Scroll |
To snap an object’s characteristic point to another curve, use the Point on Curve 
command.
Step-by-step instructions
1.Select a curve to locate the point on. The name of the selected curve is displayed in the Object field on the Parameter Panel.
2.Select a point.
|
When working with a drawing please note that all the parameterized objects must belong to the same view. |
If the existing constraints do not prevent placing the point on the specified curve, then the image will be rebuilt, and after that the preset condition will be fulfilled. A Point on Curve constraint will be applied to the curve and the object that the indicated point belongs to.
3.To complete the command, click Finish

Additional features for applying constraints...
ConstraintPoint on Curve can automatically appear during the construction of objects in parametric mode. For this, the Setting up the parametric mode In the list Parameterize the option Snaps should be enabled. The constraint will appear when you enter a defining point of an object using the snap Point on Curve, when constructing a circle using the command. Circle Centerpoint on Object, when arranging points on a curve using the Points on Curve and Point at Specified Distance, as well as when using editing commands that delete a part of a curve from its intersection point with another curve (for example, Trim curve) or conversely, extend the curve to intersect with another curve (for example, Extend to next object).
Constraints are displayed in the graphic area in the constraint preview mode. The point on the curve is shown by the symbol
