Function

Create independent Arcs of the edge type in space using 3D coordinates.

Call

Main Menu : Geometry > Curve > Create 3D > Arc...

<3D Arc>

Location

Enter the coordinates of the locations.  The coordinates are expressed in different forms noted below.

The Center [(Abs x, y, z)], Start [(Abs x, y, z)] and End [(Abs x, y, z)] Locations are sequentially specified. : (Example)
 

The Start [(Abs x, y, z)], any point on the Arc [(Abs x, y, z)] and End [(Abs x, y, z)] Locations are sequentially specified. : (Example)
 

<Methods of Entering Coordinates>

ABS x, y, z

Enter 3-D coordinates for an absolute location in space.

Note

When we enter coordinates using the mouse, the coordinates are automatically entered by a left-click on the desired point, without having to press the Apply button.

However, when coordinates are typed in, either the Enter key or the Apply button needs to be pressed.
