Draw a curve

Place points and adjust their handles to shape a smooth path.

Choose Curve in Add Objects or press B in the 2D drawing. The public tool name is Curve. The guide shows the active point list, Total Length, Point Count and Closed Path.

1

Place points and handles

Click to place the start point. At the next point, click and drag to set the handle direction and length, then release. Continue adding points to build the curve. A plain click creates a point without the same dragged handle shape.

2

Finish the current curve

Double-click to finish or use Enter. The guide’s Apply action uses the same finish request for a valid curve. Esc cancels the current drawing step; it is not Undo for a previously completed path.

3

Choose open or closed

Use Closed Path when the end should connect back to the start. Check the preview and point list before finishing. Total Length and Point Count are readouts rather than independent dimensions to type.

4

Refine the completed path

Select the path and use its supported point-editing workflow. Move points and handles and choose corner, smooth or symmetric point behavior there. Changing a completed path uses the path-editing controls, not a second overlapping drawing.
