    • You can use PinPoint Command , Point Along Command, and the SmartSketch relationship indicators (such as intersection and point on surface ) when defining a path.

    • You can change the plane for the path at any time by selecting a different plane in the Plane list.

    • To break the path, click No Line in the Path Type list.

  3. Place other segments of the path as required.

    Path segments display as they are created.

    To change the turn type for a corner, click a different turn type in the Turn Type list, and define the angle or dimensions for the turn in the Value box. See Define a line.

  4. After you place all points that define the path, click Finish.

    The Place Volume Along Path ribbon displays. A preview of the volume, using the default or the last used cross-section, also displays.

  • The software does not require that you close the path for a volume.

  • After you place a segment of the path by defining two points, you can click Edit on the ribbon to change the segment.

  • To manually set the angle and length for a segment of the path, change the values in the Angle and Length boxes on the ribbon.

  • In the Offset box, you can specify the distance from the path segment to the working plane, if needed.
