Spline drawing problem

    OK, this should be _really_ basic, but I'm either missing something
    (most likely) or there is a hugely obvious bug in SW2005...

    I create a 2D sketch, slick on the spline tool and click in several
    spots. I can see a nice curvey line developing. Double-clicking (as
    documented in the online help) doesn't complete the spline. Hitting
    enter several times seems to do it, but I'm left with a spline that
    only has control points at the begining and end of the line. Yes,
    "show control points" is on.

    What am I missing here?

    Joe,
    Works as expected here.

    Works here, too. You can also right mouse button and select "End Spline"

    Hit enter once and spline stops drawing, but you wouldn't know it (icon
    still shows a spline, which means spline tool is active and ready to
    start the next one)
    I always hit escape after I draw my last spline point. Not sure why I
    got in the habit of doing that, I just do. Esc ends the spline AND the
    spline drawing mode.
