A SPLINE is a smooth curve, which passes through or near a given set of points, . You can draw a spline by specifying series of points , start tangents and end tangents. You can use two methods for creating splines: Create spline curves with the... Read More

A joined sequence of arcs (ARC)and lines (LINE), treated as a single entity is called a polyline (PLINE). A polyline can be drawn with any LINETYPE and its width can be kept constant or tapered with over the length of any segment. You can modify the... Read More
