  1. From the Sketch section of the action bar, click Spline .
  2. Indicate the control points through which the spline should pass.
    • Click the point's location in the work area.
    • Use Tools Palette which now displays the following value boxes:
      • H: horizontal
      • V: vertical
  3. In the Tools Palette, specify the first control point coordinates.
    The first point is created.
  4. Repeat the operation to define other control points.
  5. Double-click the last control point you create to finish the spline creation.


    Tip: Clicking Spline again or clicking any other command in the action bar also ends the spline creation.
    Note: There are no dimensional constraints created in 2D Layout for 3D Design and Drafting. To show dimensions in these apps, you can create 2D dimensions from the Annotation section of the action bar.
