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

Properties
An Arc object shares all properties from a Draft Circle, but some properties only make sense for the circle. See Draft Arc for more information.
