how to draw spline nx4
(OP)
Hi
I would like to draw spline from one end of a line, tangent to that line and to an end of a second line also tangent to that line. Ex line 1: x0,y0,z0 and x1,y0,z0, line 2: x2,y1,z1 and x3,y0.9,z0.9. What I got just look like a line connect between the 2 lines. Thanks for your help.

CAD should pay for itself, shouldn't it?

Some people are like slinkies....they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Yes it does. As you select the first and last end points, on the screen a couple of icons (labeled G1 & G2) will be displayed, so before you select the nexr point just select the G1 icon if you wish the end of the Studio Spline to be constrained Tangentally (G2 will give you Curvature continuity). If don't select either icon, you'll get G0 which is just connected. Note that you can also go back and edit the constraints on the end points (or any point for that matter) by just double-clicking on the Studio Spline and then selecting the point of interest using MB3 (Right Mouse Button).

Another tool that's not documented very well is the ability to use XYZ coordinates to assign pole/point position depending on the type of Studio Spline you decide to use. Just double click on the spline to get into Edit mode then double click any of the handles and a dynamic positioning tool should appear with XYZ input boxes, in which you can manually type in coordinates if necessary.
