Creates an edge type arc on the workplane.

2D

As shown below, there are 3 ways to create an arc. The points used in each method can be specified directly by clicking on the workplane of the work screen. The arc is created in a counterclockwise direction relative to the vertical direction of the workplane.

 : Center point, Start point and End point

Creates an arc using the Center point [(Absolute x,y)], Start point [(Absolute x,y), (Radius, Start angle)] and End point [(Absolute x,y), (Included Angle), (End angle)] inputs in order.

 : Start point, Secondary point and Endpoint

Creates an arc using the Start point [(Absolute x,y)], a Secondary point on arc[(Absolute x, y)] and End point [(Absolute x,y)] inputs in order.

 : Edge and Curvature

The curve starts from the end of an existing edge and ends at a random point [Radius and Angle between] to draw an arc. The edge and curve are continuous, but are separate edges. The start point of the arc is set at the closest end point of the existing edge with respect to the mouse click.

: Center point, Start point and End point

Creates an arc using the center point [(Absolute x,y,z)], start point [(Absolute x,y,z)] and end point [(Absolute x,y,z)] inputs in order.

 : Start point, Secondary point and Endpoint

Creates an arc using the [(Absolute x,y,z)], a secondary point on arc[(Absolute x,y,z)] and end point [(Absolute x,y,z)] inputs in order.

Geometry set

Register the created arc on the Geometry Set. The user can specify the name of the Geometry Set.
