About Arcs
  1. From the Sketch section of the action bar, click Three Point Arc Starting With Limits .
  2. Locate the start point.

    You can:

    • Click anywhere in the work area.
    • Use Tools Palette, which now displays following value boxes:
      • H: horizontal
      • V: vertical
      • R: radius
  3. In the H and V boxes of the Tools Palette, define the coordinates of the start point.
  4. Repeat the operation to define the end point and then the second point.
    The three point arc is created.



    Tips: The constraints are assigned to this circle only if:
    • You have selected the Dimensional Constraints from the Sketch section of the action bar before starting the scenario.
    • You have entered coordinate values in the boxes (you did not create the profile by clicking).
