Sketch tool

Spline

Create a smooth interpolated curve through two or more placed control points.

Purpose

Create a smooth interpolated curve through two or more placed control points.

Where to find it

Start or edit a sketch, open Draw, and choose Spline.

Selection

  • Tap successive spline points in their intended order.

Steps

  1. Place at least two points.
  2. Continue adding points, then tap Apply to finish.

Options

Point sequence

Point count and order define the fitted curve; more points provide additional local shape control.

Construction Mode

Creates a reference spline that does not bound a solid profile.

Result

Apply creates one spline entity through the accepted points.

Editing

Use Edit Points to move spline points and handles; use Tangent or Fix where supported.

Troubleshooting

The spline loops or oscillates.

Use fewer well-spaced points and edit the offending point or handle rather than stacking points closely.
