Thanks for the discussion. I'm not familar with the Independent
Geometry feature, and I'm not sure what you mean by Im****t Feature.
Can you tell me where to go in the menu so I try it out?

I've im****ted the IBL file as datum curves. Edit Definition allows
some manipulation of the curve definition, but as far as I can tell
does not allow end conditions to be specified.

My workaround has been to scrap the IBL's and just read in the spline
points as Datum Points Offset from CSYS. Create spline through points
with appropriate tangency end conditions.
