Description
Create an arc is an icon button in the Sketcher geometries toolbar that groups tools to create an arc by picking three points. Click on the down arrow to its right to expand the icons below it and select a tool.
Types of arcs
Arc: Draws an arc by picking three points: the center, the start angle along the radius, and the end angle.
Arc by 3 points: Draws an arc by picking three points: the start point, the end point and a point on the arc.
