OK, that's clear. Now, where would you like to have a start point of your arc?

I'm guessing you probably want the start point of the arc to be at the beginning... and and the finishing point at the end.

 

roddy, since you used the word 'incorporate' I'm assuming you already have some sort of linework?

 

If so, try the FILLET command then `R' to set a radius.

 

If this is not your situation then I think we are going to need a little bit more info.

Thanks Paul!

 

Can we start the arc at the end, working backwards, finish up at the beginning?

 

A little more information would be invaluable, I think?

 

Radius too large, you've run out of room rodyyy.

 

Do you need a full 90° arc? Just a little arc, 5 meter, a small piece? 5° maybe?
