Presumably, you refer to a SPLINED curve or perhahaps you mean a compound or  a spiral curve?

 

option 1. SPLINE (follow command line)

option 2. from the draw palette (compound or spline)

Spiral curves from alignments (I don't know how)

 

The use of splines on engineered drawings IMHO is unorthodox since you would have a difficult time mathemetising it; replicating in the field.

its used in the hard mountains that the elevation grows more than distance and theres not enough space for making simple curves and reverse curves.

If you're talking about the curve defined by T4,B,T3. That looks like a spiral to me. You can create them using the Alignment Creation Tools.
