  1. Click Home tabDraw panelCurves drop-downCreate Reverse Or Compound Curve Find.
  2. Select the arc object nearest the end to which the new compound or reverse curve is to be attached.
  3. Specify whether to create a Reverse or Compound curve.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Enter the radius at the prompt.
    • Enter A and enter a degree of curve.
    • Enter C and enter a degree of chord.

    After you enter the radius or degree of curve, the following prompt is displayed:

    Select entry [Tangent/Chord/Delta/Length/External/Mid-ordinate] <Length>:
    
  5. Do one of the following:
    • Enter Tangent, or T, and then enter the tangent length, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter Chord, or C , and then enter the chord length, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter Length, or L, and then enter the curve length, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter Delta, or D, and then enter the delta angle, or pick the distance in the drawing.
    • Enter External, or E, and then enter the external distance, or pick the distance in the drawing.
