hi michael
but isn't the "very specific particular value" allways the same when the the distance between a curfe point and a previous and a following corner point is identical? The identical distance I can do simply with a constration line / reorient.

I guess maybe so, I don't quite remember the details off the top of my head. But you would need to type in some kind of formula for generating the weight value. That will probably be pretty weird, I don't think it will be very useful for what you are talking about.

For a segment like you show above you can use Draw curve > More > Conic for that - when each endpoint of the conic is snapped on to the end of a curve, the intersection point between those end tangents will be available as a snap point for the middle shoulder point pick, it will show as a tan/tan snap point. Then put in a rho value of 0.5 to make an ellipse conic, the ellipse will be a circle if the conditions are right for that.
