To create an arc through three points

1. Click the Arc command in the Design toolbar. Note that this command appears in a combined commands and menu button.

2. Give position d1 in response to the ‘Start point of arc’ prompt.

3. Give position d2 in response to the ‘Mid point of arc’ prompt.

4. Give position d3 in response to the ‘End point of arc’ prompt.

The arc is created in an anticlockwise direction from d1 to d3.

The diagram below shows the effect of swapping the order of d1 and d3.
