Introduction

The Spline Fit function creates splines that are fit between other entities. The spline is influenced by the selected control points, but does not pass through each point. To perform the function, you click wireframe entities (snap points) in the graphics area to define each spline point (or control point).

 

Spline Fit can also be used to create a Spline from Curves.

 

Snap Increment

Spline Fit supports the use of the snap increment when selecting the spline control points. The snap increment allows you to get precise results when using mouse selection and helps to reduce data entry modifications.
