Hi all,
I am trying to copy a 3d curve i created using the Curve through reference points command. I basically have 50 features that are all slightly different but will be based on the same 3d Curve and since once you use the curve for one feature, it is owned by that feature, then i would need to create 50 curves! There must be a way to just duplicate the curve 50 times? It takes a long time to create each curve.
Thanks for your help!

Sketches can be referenced and shared for the creation of other features.
Sketches can be copied but this is a 3D curve created using the curve through reference points command. So the curve itself is not a sketch or in a sketch. it is created by clicking on points in several sketches to create the curve in 3d. Any other ideas?

The Curve feature exists in the FM
Open a 3D sketch, select the Curve and use Convert Entities to create geometry in the 3D sketch
That 3D sketch can then be referenced/shared in other features
Kelvin,
Rami is correct, you cannot share curves.
The technique you need to use is to create a 3D sketch. In that 3D sketch, select the Curve. Then use convert entities to convert it to a 3D spline inside the sketch.
Then, this 3D sketch can be reused in multiple features.
