To display the Curvature Graph window, select one or more curves in the graphics window and choose either the Graph icon or Analysis&rarr; Curve&rarr; Graph. The Curvature Graph window then displays the curvature of the selected curves. When you edit any of the curves, the Curvature Graph window appears again with that curve's curvature redisplayed. As you edit the curve, the Curvature Graph is dynamically updated.
