Draw an arc tangent to two elements
On the Relationships page of the IntelliSketch dialog box, these options must be set:
-
Point On or End Point must be set to draw arcs that are tangent to other elements.
-
Tangent must be set to draw an arc tangent to two elements.
-
Choose the Tangent Arc command
.
-
Click an element to which you want the new arc to be tangent. You can click the end point of a line or curved element, or any point on the element.
-
Pass the cursor through one of the intent zones displayed at the position you just clicked.
-
If the command dynamics show an arc perpendicular to the existing element, move the cursor back to the intent zones and exit through a different quadrant.
-
When the command dynamics show an arc that is tangent to the first element, move the mouse cursor to a position where IntelliSketch recognizes the tangent relationship with another element, then click.
-
Instead of clicking to define the radius and sweep of the arc, you can type values in the edit boxes. You can also use a combination of graphic and edit box input.
-
IntelliSketch places relationship handles.
-
You can use the options on the command bar to edit an arc.
