Help with Curves and Surfaces

[Tallmadge]

Can anyone help with the creation of curves and surfaces? We recently upgraded from Wildfire1.0 to Wildfire3.0. In 1.0 you could highlight an edge and turn it into a curve or a plane and turn it into a surface. In 3.0 it appears that you cannot do that. Is that what the 'style tool' is for in 3.0? Any help would be appreciated.

Curve creation in wf 3.0

Single curve generation:
Switch to geometry (lower right hand corner) and select edge on part. Hit control c, control v and the green check mark to complete the process.
Curve on a loop:
Switch to geometry (lower right hand corner) and select edge on part, press and hold the shift button and highlight the adjacent curve. Hit control c, control v and the green check mark to complete the process

Thanks for curve creation

Thanks conrad361. It worked! Seems a bit more cumbersome than before.(Wildfire 1.0) Is there an icon to replace that sequence of key strokes? I do have another question. What is the chainlink icon for and what does it do when activated. It was not in WF1.0. I feel a bit embarassed asking some of these questions because I've been using ProE for about 6-7 years now. Sometimes these upgrades can through one for a loop.
