Creating and editing paths

Defined paths along curves, created with Modeling or Routing, are created using the provided path creation methods. During creation, you assign the type of stock running along a path. You can create paths independent of the type of stock and assign a stock later. The type of stock associated with a path is changeable at any time, or you can add additional stocks. You can assign and change corners at any time as well. The level of detail (style) used to model stock is changeable at any time. You may add or remove (in certain cases) RCPs from existing path segments.

Follow curves / Drive curves

Follow curves are those curves that a routing path can follow. For a curve to be a follow curve, it must be within the scope of the current work part or WAVE copied into it. The current Application View defines the types of curves that are valid drive curves for the program. Follow Curves may also be referred to as Drive Curves.
