Draw an arc by defining three points


  1. Choose the Arc By 3 Points command .

  2. Click where you want the sweep of the arc to begin (A).

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Click where you want the midpoint of the arc to be (B), and then click where you want the sweep of the arc to end (C).

    • Click where you want the sweep of the arc to end (B), and then click where you want the midpoint of the arc to be (C).

      Tip:

      Use the intent zones at the first and second points to specify whether the third point is between the first two or beyond one of the first two.

Tip:

  • Instead of clicking to define the sweep and the midpoint, you can type a radius values on the Arc command bar, and then define the sweep with graphic input.

  • IntelliSketch places relationship handles.

  • After placement, you can edit the Arc by changing the radius and sweep values on the Arc command bar.
