    What would be the best way to approximate a french curve in ACAD LT? 2006?

    Thanks,

    I assume you are looking for a series of tangential arcs, with no
    straight segments and no elliptical segments.

    ARC will give you continuous tangential arcs of the same or different
    radii if after completing the first one you hit Enter twice to continue
    the command by reusing the end point of the first arc as the start point
    of the next. I usually rough out a complex curve that will require
    tangential arcs with a polyline first, then trace over it with the arcs.
