The SPLINE command is used to create smooth curves through or near a group of fit points.

Function Description:
The SPLINE is called non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS), for simplicity, called splines.
It is defined by fit points. By default, the fit points are coinciding with spline.
Relative Glossary:
**First point:**
Specify the first point of a spline.
**Object:**
Convert 2D or 3D polylines that fitted by quadric splines or cubic splines to equivalent splines. Users could save or quit original polylines by setting the DELOBJ system variable.
**Next point:**
Prompt to create other splines, press ENTER to end the command prompts.
**Close:**
Close the spline by defining the last point coincides with the first point. By default, the closed spline is periodicity and keeps curvature continuously along the entire ring.
**Fit tolerance:**
Specify the offset of fit points of a spline. If the fit tolerance is 0, the created spline goes through all fit points. The fit tolerance is applied on all fit points (except the start point and the end point).
**Start tangent:**
Specify the tangent condition at the start point of a spline 
**End tangent:**
Specify the tangent condition at the end point of a spline.
