The Arc by Angle tool allows you to create curves when you are in the process of creating a new model or adding to an existing model. To access this panel, click 
().
The Arc by Angle command is used to create an arc or circle, using the center point, radius, starting angle, and ending angle that you specify.
Dialog elements
- Center
- Specify the center of the arc or circle you wish to create.
Either click directly on the model, or type the coordinate position in the dialog input box (e.g.: 5 10 15).
- Radius
- Specify the radius of the arc or circle you wish to create.
Either click directly on the model, or type the coordinate position in the dialog input box (e.g.: 5 10 15).
- Starting angle
- Specify the starting angle of the arc or circle you wish to create.
For example, to create a circle, set the starting angle to zero and the end angle to 360.
Either click directly on the model, or type the coordinate position in the dialog input box (e.g.: 5 10 15).
- End angle
- Specify the end angle of the arc or circle you wish to create.
For example, to create a circle, set the starting angle to zero and the end angle to 360.
Either click directly on the model, or type the coordinate position in the dialog input box (e.g.: 5 10 15).
- Automatic apply when selection complete
- When this checkbox is activated, the selected tool is applied automatically to the chosen mesh elements whenever all inputs have been specified.
- Create as
- Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it. For example
- You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it.
- You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it.
In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves.
Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change. - Filter
- The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
