Circle Arc > Circumcircle (Draw Menu)

This command draws a circle arc which ends at two given points and runs through a third.

If a circle arc is to be drawn while working in isometric or dimetric view, then the command Ellipse Arc > Vector - Vector must be used, because the result on the page is elliptical not circular.

The start point can be entered by clicking at any point in the drawing.

The end point can be entered by clicking at any point in the drawing.

The third point through which the circle arc should run, can be entered with the mouse by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

The resulting arc is not dependent on the current arc direction, as the arc direction is determined implicitly by the position of the third point.

The arc is assigned to the current layer. In addition, it contains a reference to the current pen.

The arc direction settings of existing arcs are not affected by changes to the current arc direction. To change the arc direction of an existing arc, use the command Transform Object to > Invert.
