twoPointArcCtx([degree=uint], [exists=boolean], [history=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [name=string], [spans=uint])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
twoPointArcCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The twoPointArcCtx command creates a new context for creating two point circular arcs
| string | Name of the new context |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
