This task shows how to create an arc. In this task, we will use the Sketch tools toolbar but, of course, you can create this arc manually. For this, move the cursor to activate SmartPick and click as soon as you get what you wish. | ||
By default, arc centers appear on the sketch and are associative. In case you create arcs by clicking, if you do not need them you can specify this in the Options dialog box. For this, go to Tools->Options, Mechanical Design > Sketcher option at the left of the dialog box (Sketcher tab). | ||

Arc Center |

Start Point |
||
For example, enter H: 18mm and V: 30mm (Circle Center)
and then H: 40mm and V: 40mm (Start Point).
The arc center and start point appear.
|
||
The arc will now appear according to the position you assign to the cursor. In this particular case, the cursor position is at the bottom extremity of the arc. | ||
End Point |

For example, enter S: -70deg (Angular Sector). The arc appears as shown here. |
