Create Arcs Connected TangentiallyCreate Arcs Connected TangentiallyUse this command to create a chain of tangent arcs attached end-to-end. First select a start point and the start tangent angle of the first arc. Then select end points where the arcs are connected.

 

Operational Sequence

 

  1. Select the start point of the first arc.  

  2. If you selected the Tangent input option by right-clicking the mouse during step 1 and then selected a curve, select the tangent direction. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

    Outward
    - The direction of tangent is toward the outer side of the curve.
    Inward
    - The direction of tangent is toward the inner side of the curve.

        

  1. Specify the start tangent angle of the first arc or middle-click for zero degrees.

  2. Select end points until the desired arc chain is created.
