Create Curve From Points/Nodes

The Create Curve From Points/Nodes macro allows you to create curve graphics from a set of selected points or nodes. The generated curve graphics can be used to setup 2D Rigid to Rigid Contact or Advanced Joints, such as Point to Curve or Curve to Curve Joint.

Based on the selected set of points or nodes belonging to a File Graphic or CAD Graphic, this macro creates a 3D Cartesian curve and a Curve Graphic.
