Command Options

Option	Description
First point for spline	Specifies the start of the tangent. Pick a point, or enter x,y coordinates.
Second point	Specifies the first vertex of the spline.
Next point	Specifies the next vertex. This prompt repeats until you press Enter.
Close	Closes the spline; the end and start points are joined.
Fit tolerance	Specifies how closely the spline matches its vertices (also known as "fit points"); prompts you: Enter fit tolerance (in drawing units) - enter 0 or a larger number. 0 - spline passes through fit points. More than 0 - spline passes further away from fit points.
