You can use a 3D fit spline feature. You can control start and end directions using surrounding references (planes, edges,faces etc)
For more control/options there are numerous custom features like the Routing curve….
Hi, thanks
I tried to make a spline, but I can only do it on the same plane. I'm not sure I did what you suggested: "3d fit spline". I would be very grateful if you could explain to me where the function is...I've been trying for a long time without success.
Google found this: 3D Fit Spline
The edit curve feature is very helpful after you connect with them with a curve/spline.
If you want to be able to quickly move wires around in 3D, I recommend @EvanReese's Freeform Spline feature. Then use his Wire feature to put a wire on the spline. There are other legit spline features too.
