Set next point
Specify the next fit point.
Additional options: [Close/Fit tolerance/Undo]
Select starting tangent point

After you begin creating a spline, the following options may be available:

Close
Automatically draw a spline segment between the start and end points to create a closed spline.
Fit tolerance
Specify (in drawing units) how closely the spline matches its fit points. If the fit tolerance is 0, the spline passes through its fit points.
Undo
