Usage

  1. Select one or several sketch segments and press the the toolbar button Sketcher BSplineApproximate.svg Convert geometry to B-spline.

Make sure to have either the spline degree, polygon, comb, multiplicity or weight visible, otherwise nothing seems to happen. If you converted straight lines, you first need to increase the degree of the lines to make them "bendable".
