Circle Arc > Radius - Point - Point (Draw Menu)

This command draws a circle arc which has a given radius and ends at two given points.

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.

After choosing this command, a dialog appears in which a radius for the circle arc can be entered.

The first point, which the circle arc should end at, can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere within the drawing.

The second point, which the circle arc should end at, can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere within the drawing.

After both points have been entered, all the possible circle arcs are calculated (the graphic shows one possible result).

The desired circle arc can then be chosen with the help of a small dialog. Only one circle can be chosen at a time.

If the distance between the two points is more than twice the radius, then the circle arc can not be calculated. In this case, an error message appears.

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.
