Options

:SPLINE_OPTION_CREATE_EXPAND - accesses the spline creation commands:
- :WIRE_PART - specifies the name of the wire part to which the 3D spline will belong.
- :INPUT_MODE - specifies the method to use to create the spline:
  - :INTERPOLATION creates the spline with interpolation points (on the spline).
  - :CONTROL creates the spline with control points (guiding the spline).
- :CURRENT_TANGENT - specifies the direction of a tangent to the spline curve at an interpolation point using the MEASURE_DIR_3D_SA subaction. (Not available when creating splines with control points.)
- :COORDINATE_SYSTEM - sets a local coordinate system to use in the multiview display:
  - :COORD_ORIGIN sets the origin of the local coordinates.
  - :COORD_W_AXIS sets the w axis of the local coordinates using the MEASURE_DIR_3D_SA subaction.
  - :COORD_V_AXIS sets the other axis of the local coordinates using the MEASURE_DIR_3D_SA subaction.
- :RESET_COORD - replaces the local coordinate system with the global coordinates.
- :CLOSED - specifies the spline to be open (:ON) or closed (:OFF).
- :MULTIVIEW - specifies the display of up to three orthographic views of the 3D curve in addition to the standard global view.
- :POINTS - specifies the points of the spline, either control or interpolation.
- :BACK - steps back through the points of the spline so that they may be redone.
- :NEXT - completes the current spline, and leaves the dialog open to begin creating another spline.
:SPLINE_OPTION_CREATE_SHRINK accesses the spline modification commands:
- :CURVE - specifies the spline to modify.
- :MODIFICATION_MODE - specifies the method to use to modify the spline:
  - :INTERPOLATION modifies the spline's interpolation points.
  - :CONTROL modifies the spline's control points.
- :MOVE_POINT - specifies that the selected point is to be repositioned.
- :DELETE_POINT - specifies that the selected point is to be deleted.
- :APPEND_POINT - specifies that the selected point is to be appended to; that is, the spline is continued.
- :INSERT_POINT - specifies that a point is to be inserted between two spline vertices.
- :UNDO - undoes the last modification to the spline.
- :CHANGE_TANGENT_AT - specifies the direction of a tangent to the spline curve at a specified interpolation point using the MEASURE_DIR_3D_SA subaction. (Not available when modifying splines with control points.)
- :COORDINATE_SYSTEM - sets a local coordinate system to use in the multiview display:
  - :COORD_ORIGIN sets the origin of the local coordinates.
  - :COORD_W_AXIS sets the w axis of the local coordinates using the MEASURE_DIR_3D_SA subaction.
  - :COORD_V_AXIS sets the other axis of the local coordinates using the MEASURE_DIR_3D_SA subaction.
- :RESET_COORD - replaces the local coordinate system with the global coordinates.
- :CLOSED - specifies the spline to be open (:ON) or closed (:OFF).
- :MULTIVIEW - specifies the display of up to three orthographic views of the 3D curve in addition to the standard global view.
