Description

The Arc 3Points tool creates a circular arc in the current work plane by entering three points that line of the circumference; the center and radius are calculated from these three points. It uses the Draft Linestyle set on the Draft Tray.

Arc defined by three points lying on a circumference

How to use

  1. Press the Draft Arc 3Points button, or press A then T keys.
  2. Click a first point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the add point button.
  3. Click a second point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the add point button.
  4. Click a third point in the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the add point button.
  5. The arc will be created after the third point is given.
