Splines aren't always fully defined in practice, but it is possible to add enough constraints to fully define the entity if that is the goal. Define the location of each spline point and add tangency controls or spline handle constraints as needed. The simpler you can make the spline, the easier this task becomes. I hope that helps!
As you are drawing connected line segments, if you want to switch to a tangent arc you can tap the "A" key on your keyboard to swap back and forth. You can also pull the line segment preview away from the start point, move it back to hover over the start point, and then leave it again to swap to an arc and establish the tangency vector relative to the previous line. I hope that helps, if you're interested in formal training we can help at www.mlc-cad.com/training/solidworks/calendar/
Nice thanks a lot 🎉
Absolutely! Thanks for subscribing!
How do you fully define this spline?

I'm very new to this, so I apologize if this is a basic question. How did you transition from the straight line to an arc?
