hi hamiciv,

as a beginner, draw an ARC, explorer the dxf assoc list by (entget(car(entsel)))

sorry i misunderstood..

(COMMAND "ARC" s "C" c "A" (- (angle c e) (angle c s)))

if you use "COMMAND" (drawing object etc..) in your code, be careful if "osmode" is enabled. That's why we prefer entmake or vla-addArc

(defun c:test (/ s c e); entmake
(if (and (setq s (getpoint "\nStart.. "))
 (setq c (getpoint "\nCenter.. "))
 (setq e (getpoint "\nEnd.."))
 ) ;_ end of setq
 (entmakex (list '(0 . "ARC")
	  (cons 10 c)
	  (cons 40 (distance c s))
	  (cons 50 (angle c s))
	  (cons 51 (angle c e))
	  ) ;_ end of list
    ) ;_ end of entmakex
 ) ;_ end of if
)

thanks a lot dear hanhphuc

I think the code is incorrect

(COMMAND "ARC" s "C" c "A" (- (angle c e) (angle c s)))

Try this.

(command "arc" "c" pause pause "angle" pause "")

dear mostafa

if your possible , please explain more this command?

What is your mean of the pause?

dear mostafa

What is your mean of the pause?

pause is meant let user input, the command is suspended to allow direct user input (usually point selection or dragging).

thanks a lot dear hanhphuc

I think the code is incorrect

(COMMAND "ARC" s "C" c "A" (- (angle c e) (angle c s)))

oops sorry, if automation "command" with variable not working maybe due to environment settings "angdir" or angle units in command input radians or degrees vice verse?

(command "arc" "c" pause pause "angle" pause "")
