In Creo Parametric, you can now create curves of degree 1 or 2 in Control Point mode, offering smoother and more natural curves without inflection. A degree 1 curve supports up to two control points, while a degree 2 curve allows a maximum of three control points. These minimal degrees depend on the curve’s connection type. While the default remains degree 3, you can reduce it for enhanced control and flexibility in your designs.
