Stanier Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi - When drawing an arc using the 3 point Start,Centre & End option can you please tell me how you control the angle in which hthe arc is drawn i.e. whether it is to be concave or convex. Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 When you have defined the start and the centre of an arc, the arc will start anticlockwise from the start point, and is always concave towards the centre. If you want it to go clockwise, then at the prompt "Specify end point of arc or (Angle/chord Length):" type a (for angle) and enter a negative number.

RobDraw Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If you would prefer it clockwise on a permanent basis, it can be changed in units. At least, I think you can do that in 2000. I'm not sure how far back this goes but in 2017 holding the control key when specifying the end point switches direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
