...Do I draw object with round AND square vertexes?

[lekkaut]

I'm trying to draw some figure which has a lot of square AND round vertexes. When I use Polyline, I can only the square vertexes in a easy way. I could use the arc option in Polyline for the round pieces but I it's a lot of work.

When I use the Spline command, I can draw the round pieces of the figure
very easy and fast, but I can't draw the square vertexes.

Can somebody explain me how to draw this kind of figures?

Look into the FILLET command on POLYLINES. Splines do not have squares vertices. -David

The fillet command is not right for the kind of figures I need to draw.
The round vertices I need to draw vary in all kinds of ways.

I need something like the Pen option in Adobe illustrator.
Maybe I could draw the figure in Adobe Illustrator and export it to Autocad, but I think it's easier if I could draw the figure in Autocad itself.

Well there is always the SKETCH command. You could then PEDIT it together and the SPLINE the polyline. -David

Polylines draw as 3DPOLY can give the benefits of both polylines and splines.
