Draw an arc with FreeSketch


    Note:

    The IntelliSketch options Point On Element or End Point must be set to draw arcs that are tangent to other elements.

  1. Choose the Home tab (or Sketching tab)→Draw group→Line list→FreeSketch command .

  2. On the FreeSketch command bar, set the Arc element type button and clear the other element type buttons.

  3. Drag to draw an arc.

    Tip:
    • The Adjust option specifies whether the geometry is adjusted as you draw.

      • When the Adjust option is off, the software draws the exact movements of your cursor.

      • When the Adjust option is on, the software interprets arcs as tangent to the elements to which they are connected. IntelliSketch places relationship handles.

    • IntelliSketch recognizes relationships at the start point and end point of the arc.

    • When you set the Line and Arc element type buttons, you can draw connected lines and arcs.

    • You can use the options on the FreeSketch command bar and the commands on the shortcut menu to edit an arc.
