Some lines need to curve, and in this section, we deal only with curves of various types. To get your curve right, you can click on the line and drag it around to get close to what you require and there are 'handles' that you can click and drag around until you get the right shape that you're looking for, or you can use exact degrees.

===Curve - Interactive (Shortcut Alt+C)===
{|
|[[File:Spline.svg|50x50px]]
|Create a curve between two nodes
|-
|
|Click on the first and second node. You may now drag the handles around to make the curve more pleasing or use direction and angle formulas to get a more precise curve
|-
|
|
* Name: Name of the new node
* First point: Starting point of curve
* Second point: Endpoint of curve
* First point handle - Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
* First point handle - Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
* Second point handle - Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
* Second point handle - Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
* Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node

=== Spline - Interactive (Shortcut Alt+S) ===
{|
|[[File:SplinePath.svg|50x50px]]
|Create a curve that passes through multiple nodes
|-
|
|Click on each node in turn and press enter when done. You may now drag the handles around to make the curve more pleasing or use direction and angle formulas to get more precise curve

* First control point - Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
* First control point - Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
* Second control point - Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
* Second control point - Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
