You can draw an arc in four different ways:

• 3 point arc

  1. Indicate the start point.

  2. Indicate the perimeter point, or enter E on the command line to indicate the end point first.

  3. Indicate the third point (which is either the end point or the perimeter point).

• Centerpoint arc

  1. Indicate the centerpoint or the circle.

  2. Indicate the start point of the arc.

  3. Indicate the end point of the arc or enter the angle on the command line.

     Note that the end point is located counter-clockwise from the start point on the perimeter of the circle.

• Chord arc

  1. Indicate the start point.

  2. Indicate the end point.

  3. Indicate the perimeter point.

• Tangential arc

  1. Indicate the start point of the arc.

  2. Indicate the direction of the tangent.

  3. Indicate the end point of the arc.
