Open Spline?

Open Spline?

Open Spline?

(OP)
Hi, I'm completely new to using CAD, last time I drew anything was in 1982 on A0 paperwith set squares when I was at secondary school! Anyway, been trying to teach myself how to use draftsight and I can't figure out how to draw a non regular curve between 2 points (I think it's called an open spline). I select various points to draw the curve but when I've got the curve done and press 'c' to close it joins the start and end points with another curve so I end up with a wiggly circle rather than just a wiggly curved linea. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.
