What if...?

• I want to create a concentric arc of more than 180 degrees?

  Concentric arcs are usually drawn in the direction that will create the smallest sweep angle.

  To draw an arc in the opposite direction, choose Windows > Information > Information Window . Open the Attributes section and click Complement.

• I want to create a concentric circle?

  Choose Windows > Information > Information Window . Set the Angle/Sweep attribute to 360.
