The [[Image:Sketcher_CreateArc.svg|24px]] [[Sketcher_CreateArc|Sketcher CreateArc]] tool creates an arc by its center and its endpoints. {{Version|1.0}}: Or optionally by its endpoints and a point along the arc.
This tool draws an arc by picking three points: the center, the start angle along the radius, and the end angle.

When starting the tool, the mouse pointer changes to a white cross with a red arc icon. The coordinates of the pointer are shown beside it in blue in real time.

Description

The Sketcher CreateArc tool creates an arc by its center and its endpoints. introduced in version 1.0: Or optionally by its endpoints and a point along the arc.

Arc created in Center mode with automatically applied constraints defined by entering all On-View-Parameters

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

Pos-OVP = Positional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 1.0
Dim-OVP = Dimensional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 1.0

  1. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Center and endpoints button.
    • Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create arc by center option from the menu.
    • Right-click in the 3D view and select the Create arc by center option from the context menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: G then A.
  2. The cursor changes to a cross with the current tool mode icon.
  3. The Arc parameters section (introduced in version 1.0) is added at the top of the Sketcher Dialog.
  4. Optionally press the M key or select from the dropdown list in the parameters section to change the tool mode:
    • Center:
      1. Pick the center of the arc. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X and/or Y coordinate.
      2. Pick the start point of the arc, this also defines the radius. Or with Dim-OVP: enter the radius and/or start angle of the arc. The angle is relative to the X axis of the sketch. No constraint is created for this angle.
      3. Pick the endpoint of the arc. Or with Dim-OVP: enter the aperture angle of the arc.
    • 3 rim points: introduced in version 1.0
      1. Pick the start and end points of the arc. Or with Pos-OVP: enter their X and/or Y coordinates.
      2. Pick another point to define the radius. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X and/or Y coordinate. No constraints are created for this point.
  5. The arc is created and applicable Pos-OVP and Dim-OVP based constraints are added.
  6. If the tool runs in continue mode:
    1. Optionally keep creating arcs.
    2. To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.
