/* NURBS Curve Tool */
# Activate the '''NURBS Curve Tool'''.
# Click anywhere on the active work plane to create nodes. The contour of the NURBs NURBS Curve is rendered as soon as the second node is defined. A NURBs NURBS Curve must have at least two nodes.# Create as many nodes as you want. You can finish the drawing either by double-clicking on the last node or first creating the last node and pressing the keyboard's {{key|Enter}} key.# The NURBs NURBS Curve can be closed at any time by either double-clicking on using the workplane keyboard shortcut {{key|C}}. This connects the last drawn node to establish the first. NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: If a closing nodeNURBS Curve object is originally drawn as an open curve, or you can turn it into a closed one by pressing placing a check mark in the box labeled '''CClose Curve''' . The property dialog of a NURBS Curve object lists the individual nodes and their coordinates ordered by the node ID. You can select and highlight each node and change its coordinates using the {{key|Edit}} button of the dialog. You can also delete each node using the {{key|Delete}} key or '''ENTER''' insert a new node between the selected node and its next node using the {{key, which connects |Insert}} key. The new node is placed at the last drawn midpoint between the selected node with and the firstnode having the next ID number.
EDITING NODES<table><tr>Each NURBs Curve node can be selected by clicking on it in the work plane. You can also force nodes to snap to the nearest grid point by activating Snap to Grid ('''View &rarr; Grid Settings''').<td>  If the NURBs Curve shape was originally drawn unclosed, you can place a checkmark in the '''Close''' option box to connect the first drawn anchor point with the last drawn anchor point[[Image:cad_curve9_new.
