Defines a circular arc.
P1
Keypoint at one end of circular arc line. If P1
=
P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored
(valid only in the GUI).
P2
Keypoint at other end of circular arc line.
PC
Keypoint defining plane of arc and center of curvature side
(with positive radius). Must not lie along the straight line from P1
to P2
.
PC
need not be at the center of curvature.
RAD
Radius of curvature of the arc. If negative, assume center
of curvature side is opposite to that defined by PC
.
If RAD
is blank, RAD
will
be calculated from a curve fit through P1
, PC
,
and P2
.
Defines a circular arc line from P1
to P2
.
The line shape is generated as circular, regardless of the active coordinate
system. The line shape is invariant with coordinate system after it is generated.
When dealing with a large radius arc (1e3), or if the location of the arc you create is far away from the origin of your coordinate system, anomalies may occur. You can prevent this by creating the arc at a smaller scale, and then scaling the model back to full size (LSSCALE).
