Use this dialog to edit arcs. If you are editing a fillet arc, the results of the edits affect the two lines.
Change the arc selection whilst the dialog is displayed by clicking a different arc. Edit the newly selected arc in the normal way.
Name — Displays the current name of the selected arc. Type in a new name if required.
Radius/diameter — Shows the radius/diameter of the selected arc and allows you to edit the value.
Span Angle — Shows the span of the arc sector in degrees and allows you to edit the value.
Centre mark type — Select an option in the list to specify how an arc centre is displayed: hidden
, cross
, or dot
.
Full — Converts a partial arc into a full arc.
Reverse — Reverses the arc so that the start coordinates become the end coordinates and the end coordinates the start.
Workspace — Select the workspace (world or active) in which to edit the arc from the drop-down list.
Centre — Shows the centre coordinates of the arc. To edit the values, enter the
X Y Z
coordinates or click the

- Select an arc to edit.
- Click the
Position
button and select a point for the arc to pass through:

of the original arc
, the arc is reversed:
The tangents at the end points remain the same for the original arc and the edited arc.
