To Work With Splines

A spline is a smooth curve that passes through or near a set of points that influence the shape of the curve.

Draw a Spline

  1. Click Home tabDraw panelSpline
  2. (Optional) Enter m (Method). Then enter either f (Fit Points) or cv (Control Vertices).
  3. Specify the first point of the spline.

Convert a Spline-Fit Polyline to a Spline
