Sets options for modifying a straight segment of an existing path. This ribbon appears when you select a straight segment in the existing path.
Properties
Displays the Sketch Properties dialog, which allows you to view properties for the path.
Finish Path
Displays the path in the active graphic view and returns you to the Place Volume Along Path Command.
Cancel
Cancels the changes that you have made and returns you to the model.
Show Cross Section View
Opens a new window that is oriented to display the sketch (cross-section) plane as viewed from the end of the first path segment. The option is only available when the cross-sectional type is defined as Sketch.
Edit
Allows you to modify and move the existing path. You can select a segment, a turn, or multiple segments to which you want to make modifications.
Create
Displays the Create Path ribbon to allow you to add segments to an existing path.
First Point
Specifies that you are selecting the starting location of the move vector.
Second Point
Specifies that you are selecting the ending location of the move vector.
Path Type
Specifies the type of line for the current segment in the path. To change the segment type, click a different type in the Path Type list.
Line
Specifies a straight line for the segment.
Arc by 3 Points
Specifies an arc by three points for the segment. The first point is the start of the arc, the second point is a point on the arc, and the third point is the end of the arc.
No Line
Specifies that you do not want the current segment of the path to have a line associated with it.
Arc by End Points
Specifies an arc by end points for the segment. The first point you click is the start of the arc; the second point you click is the end of the arc; the third point you click defines the plane, radius, and sweep angle of the arc.
Elliptical Arc
Specifies an elliptical arc for the segment. The first point you click is the start of the arc; the second point you click is the center of the ellipse; the third point you click defines the minor/major axis ratio and the sweep angle.
Plane
Activates options for selecting a working plane for the path.
Plan Plane
Defines the work surface as the XY plane. You can also press CTRL+1 to select this option.
Z Plane: X-West / Elevation Plane: East-West
Defines the work surface as the XZ plane. You can also press CTRL+2 to select this option.
Section Plane: Y- South / Elevation Plane: North-South
Defines the work surface as the YZ plane. You can also press CTRL+3 to select this option.
Plane by Turn
Defines the work surface as the plane defined by an existing turn. You select the turn to set the plane. You can also press CTRL+4 to select this option.
Plane by Three Points
Defines the work surface using three points you define. You can also press CTRL+5 to select this option.
No Plane
Clears any work surfaces. The software does not project points that you place to any plane. You can also press CTRL+6 to select this option.
Delete Selected Items
Deletes the selected path segments.
Length Locked
Defines whether or not the length of the selected segment should remain constant while
moving. When locked , the software automatically modifies the turn points, along with the length and angle
of adjacent segment, to remain connected to the moved segment. The length of the moved
segment does not change. When not locked 
, the software extends or shortens the associated segments to connect with the new
position of the moved segment. The length of the moved segment can change.
