Hi Pior, there isn't a way to switch commands on the fly but you can make straight lines without leaving the control point or interpolated curve commands.

You do that by holding down the Ctrl key when placing a point which will make a corner point. If you make 2 corner points in a row you will get a straight line between them.

+1 Pior. Great suggestion.

Most of my profile curves for constructing solid objects have a combination of straight lines with corner points and free form curves.

Opps... Along comes Michael with a tip I didn't know :) I really need to read the manual some day.

Well, what can I say !! This is excellent, I had no idea. The speed gain is actually way more than 2x now that I can practically try it - more along the lines of 4x or even 5x in my case, this is excellent.

The opposite could be cool too (polyline to interpthrough by holding ctrl) - but then I suppose that interpthrough is not necessarily the "obvious" alternate, since someone might want regular control points instead. As a matter of fact both are equally useful, obviously.

In any case, thanks ! This is really, really fast.
