Summary
SPLINE creates curves called nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS), referred to
as splines for simplicity.
Splines are defined either with fit points, or with control vertices. By default,
fit points coincide with the spline, while control vertices define a control frame.
Control frames provide a convenient method to shape the spline. Each method
has its advantages.
To display or hide the control vertices and control frame, select or deselect
the spline, or use
CVSHOW on page 416 and CVHIDE on page 410.

The prompts that display depend on whether you create a spline with fit
points or with control vertices.
