AGi32 allows the user to place arcs of any length and radius at any three dimensional location. Arcs are drawn by specifying three points: beginning, end and center. In addition, they can be specified in any view (plan, elevation or isometric). You can add arcs to the endpoint of a line, while in the Line command, by pressing F4. The first point of the arc will be the endpoint of the line. The second endpoint of the arc is located next. By default, the arc radius will be drawn in the counterclockwise direction. To change the arc's direction, press the F5 key before fitting the arc.
- From the Add
menu choose Drawing -Arc, or from
the Drawing/Schedules toolbar select
. - Locate the cursor at the beginning point of the arc and click the left mouse button.
- Locate the endpoint of the arc and click the left mouse button again.
- Drag the crosshairs until the arc has achieved the right shape and click the left mouse button (this is termed “fitting” the arc). To change the arc's direction, press F5 before you click.
