Hey guys, i'm back with another weird issue that I am sure has an easy solution. I am drawing a site property outline with line segments and splines, and when I select them all to form a polygon to close the shape, the corners where splines meet line segments is doing some weird things. I will post the before and after pictures so you can see what I am referring to. Is there some setting or particular selection order I need to use in order to ensure that the command does not warp the lines when they join?

I've found it is way better to use straight lines and then adjust the arc on segments as needed to match the arcs on the ILC or survey you are working with. If you don't have survey documents and are just trying to trace something, still easier to draw segments of lines to points and then work out the radius of the arc. Splines behave strangely sometimes.

Yeah splines have done some weird things to me in a few different projects. I'll just follow your advice. Thanks!
