Routing curve, how to wrap around control points instead of cutting the corner

I want to model a thin control cable from a servo that routes through pulley, bellcranks, etc. So I'm using polyline with control points that are the mate connectors of the pulleys, and then setting the radius to whatever the pulley radius would be. BUT, the radius cuts the corner. Is there a setting to make the curve go around the outside, rather than cut the corner? It's probably close enough for my present purposes, but I like the feature and would like to learn to use it properly. Thanks for any suggestions,

Hi Robert, not that I know of. However as a work around then you could just offset the polyline control point byt the radius of the pulley.

Sounds like you'll need to make a composite curve of routing curves, intersection curves, bridging curves, etc.
