Description

This tool draws an arc by picking four points: the center, the radius, the start angle and the end angle.

Usage

  • Pick points on an empty area of the 3d view, or on an existing object.
  • The arc tool inherits the Circle tool functionality for its two first steps, so you can press ALT to pick a tangent instead of center or radius.
  • Pressing CTRL will snap your point to availible snap locations.
  • Pressing SHIFT will constrain your new point in relation to the last one.
  • Enter numbers to manually insert a coordinate.
  • The newly created line will take the current linestyle.
  • Pressing ALT when choosing the end angle will switch you to counter-clockwise direction.
  • Pressing ESC cancels the function.
