ParameterSymbolDescriptionDimension (Range)
1. NameN/AUse to set the name of the Curveset.N/A
2. List of EdgesN/AUse to display the names or colors of selected edges. The names of the edges are not editable.N/A
3. Select EdgesN/AUse to add or remove the edges for the Curveset by using the MultiEdge Picker (Rigid Body) or Color Edge Picker.N/A
4. Up & DownN/AUse to move the location of the selected edge up and down the list. The sequence of edges is very important for representing the curve geometry. If the edges are not in the correct order, the generated curve from the Curveset will be discontinuous.N/A
5. Maximum Tolerance Parameters in the Curveset properties dialog Use to set the maximum error. For more information, see Passing Points Control in the Motion Theory Reference.

9. PreviewN/AUse to display the Curveset passing points on the screen. If you close the dialog, the preview will be hidden.N/A
10. Control buttonsN/AIf all necessary parameters are set, these buttons are enabled. For more information about the control buttons, refer to Entity Properties Access and Modification.N/A
