Can the endpoints of a spline be constrained to a specific angle?

julian_goodmanjulian_goodman Member Posts: 4
I want to create a slot from a spline with the endpoints at specific angles.  I can accomplish this by adding angled lines close to the endpoints of the spline and create slots for them too and have those slots overlap the slot for the spline but that seems so clumsy.  Is there any way to constrain the end point angles of the spline so I wouldn't need to add the angles lines and their slots?

    Julian... you cannot add "Angular" dimensions to the spline control point...BUT you can add an angular dimension between the leg of the control point and other sketch geometry.

    Thanks John.   This is exactly what I was looking for.  I'm new to Onshape. Actually new to CAD on the whole but if there's one thing I've learned so far is that so many of Onshape's tools are intuitive I need to stop overthinking what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks again for your help.
