Improved isoline curve creation using reference control in Creo

User Interface Location: Click Style > Curve from Surface > Isoline.
Release: Creo Parametric 9.0.0.0

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
You can now create an isoline curve on a surface with its location defined by a reference. Using the By Reference option, you can select a reference that has a single point of contact with the surface where the isoline is created. The reference can be a curve endpoint touching the surface or a tangent to the surface.

You can also drag the isoline curve endpoint and snap it to a reference by holding the Shift key. This behaves as a soft point connection.

Isoline curves defined using a reference update dynamically when the parent curve is moved.

This enhancement is useful when you want to define isoline parameters not only by a numeric value, but also by a reference. Previously, isoline curves (Curve on Surface) could not be controlled using references.

This enhancement improves productivity and user experience by reducing the need to manually adjust isoline curve values after making design changes.
