Hi,  
i have a problem using the SmartComponent _MoveAlongCurve_.

First of all, I don’t find this SC in the user manual of the software. Where can i find the information?  
I tried to use it, in particular by importing a curve drawn in autocad; but there are some problem: when i start the SC the object move on the profile with the same sequence as it was drawn in autocad. Sometimes ( after i have drawn with the correct sequence in autocad) the direction of the arcs or circumferences are wrong.  
How can i solve this problem? How can i decide the sequence of the movement?  
do i have to export the cad in some particular format?  
Thanks to all,  
Edo

Hello there,

I don’t think the default iteration of the MoveAlongCurve supports the functionality that you are asking for. You could create your own version of the MAC-SC with additonal functionality, such as a selection of start and endpoints etc.

Best regards,
