There tools to create simple lines and arcs, which can associatively reference predefined parametric points. There's full set of tools that can be accessed from a set of galleries which you'll need to use the Customize function to find and add to something like the Curve ribbon tab, as shown below. Now this is not really a polyline function, but it can handle most of what you're trying to do if you're careful and make sure that the lines and arcs are connected properly.

If you have an issue with something like what you described above
open up your command finder and enter the word or words
that you need . . . in this situation enter polyline, and you
should get some results that will guide you in the right direction.
The command finder is the binoculars on your toolbar and is also located under Help
 
Thanks for a tips
"Line and Arcs" and "Curve" works (I know this functions).
The main problem are arcs between line segments - how to cuts line segments to arcs without losing associativity?

Jerry1423, command finder was first option i used to find solution ;)
NX offers polyline function only with sketch mode

Have you tried creating the "...arcs between line segments..." using a 'Fillet' or as it's called in the Curve gallery, 'Arc Tangent-Tangent-Radius'? Once you create the arc segment then simply use 'Trim Curve' to limit the line segments to the arcs.

"Trim Curve" is solutiojn of parametrical cutting.
Thank you.

This is first time in my carieer when Catia offers faster and better tool.
