The Draw arcs function allows you to create various types of arcs. The function is called by pressing the Draw arcs button, placed on the corresponding toolbar in the Draw mode.
This is a four-step function:
Step 1: Create the first point;
Step 2: Create the second point;
Step 3: Create the arc;
Step 4: Reshape the arc.
Create arcs parameters:
By tangent: a curve will be drawn between the two points defined in the previous step and a tangent line will be linked to the first point;
By size: a curve will be drawn between the two points defined in the previous step and the mouse will be linked to the curve through a specific positioning point. This point will determine the arc depth.
Radius: the radius dimension for creating the arc.
Length: the length of the arc.
Once the value is set for the Radius and Length options, and Enter is pressed, in the working area will be displayed the geometrical possibilities for building the arc. A simple click on the arc will validate the arc construction. The last step of the function allows reshaping the current arc, by Radius and Length.
