This tool enables you to
specify a circle by first placing its center point, and then clicking to
indicate a point that lies on the curve.
To draw a circular arc
- Click the Arcs > Circular Arc icon, or choose Arcs >
Circular Arc from the Keypoint Curve Toolbox.
- Click the center point of the arc, or
type a 3D coordinate to place the point exactly.
- Click a point to lie on the arc, or type
a 3D coordinate to place the point exactly.
As you drag the circumference, the Circular
Arc tool displays the radius of the circle in current
linear units.
Circle Options

- Spans
-
Specifies the number
of spans in the curve. The values range from 1 to 14. The default
is 1.
NoteThe
sum of the degree and number of spans cannot exceed 16. When creating
rational geometry, as set in
