  1. From the Sketch section of the action bar, click Arc .
  2. Locate the center of the arc.

    You can:

    • Click the required location in the work area.
    • Use Tools Palette to define the point coordinates in the following boxes:

      • H: horizontal
      • V: vertical
      • R: radius (for the first two points)
      • A: angle (for the first two points)
      • S: angular sector

  3. In the H and V boxes of the Tools Palette, define the coordinates of the circle's center.
  4. Repeat the operation to define the start point of the arc.
    The arc's center and start point are created. The arc now appears as you move the pointer.

  5. Repeat the operation to define the arc end point or click when you get the required location.

    The arc is created.

    Note: There are no dimensional constraints created in 2D Layout for 3D Design and Drafting. To show dimensions in these apps, you can create 2D dimensions from the Annotation section of the action bar.
