Purpose
To generate an arc segment as a 2D primitive Cline.
Syntax
ARC $W ( $N $N < $N $N > ! /V ! /P ! /T ! /C ) < /LAYER $N >
Description
Creates an arc segment as a 2D Cline. The arc can be constructed through three vertices, three digitized points, tangent to three Cline elements or by specifying the center, radius and extent. The arc is created in the plane defined by the working coordinate system.
Command Qualifiers
|
$W |
The name under which the arc Cline is stored. |
|
$N $N < $N $N > |
The first value is the arc radius and the second the extent of the arc in degrees. The optional values are the U, V coordinates of the arc center, if these are not given the arc is centered at 0,0. |
|
/V |
Creates an arc through three vertices selected with the cursor. |
|
/P |
Creates an arc through three points digitized with the cursor. |
|
/T |
Creates an arc tangent to three Cline elements selected with the cursor. |
|
/C |
Creates an arc by picking three vertices to specify the arc center, arc radius (and start point) and arc extent. The last vertex does not have to lie on the arc. |
|
/LAYER $N |
Specifies the layer number on which the arc is to be stored. If this is omitted the arc is stored on the current layer as set by the Layer Editor dialog or the Layer command. |
