twoPointArcCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The twoPointArcCtx command creates a new context for creating two point circular arcs

Return value

stringName of the new context

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

twoPointArcCtx -degree 1;

// To query the degree of an existing context:
twoPointArcCtx -q -degree arcContext1;
