    I tried to add some points on spline by pressing the ctrl key and click the spline, but it didn’t work. Are there any settings or something I should try?
    Any suggestion will be appreciated.. Thanks in advance

    it only works on editable splines not parametric splines – e.g. if you add a Circle spline you’d have to make it editable first – and you have to be in point mode but ctrl-click should work

    Thanks!
    I tried both editable and point mode but ctrl +click didn’t work..
    Instead, when I selected the pen tool then ctrl+click , it turned to a knife icon and I could add some new points on spline. But I guess it’s not what I wanted to do.. ????

    I mean I guess not knife icon but pen and + icon is the right result ..

    Pen tool will work but to insert a point you just need to be in Move, Scale or Rotate modes and ctrl-click will work. You can also use the Create Point tool.
