Arc2D.createByCenter Method

Creates a transient 2D arc object specifying the center, radius and start and end angles. A transient arc is not displayed or saved in a document. Transient arcs are used as a wrapper to work with raw 2D arc information.

Syntax

Python
C++

This is a static method.


# Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = adsk.core.Arc2D.createByCenter(center, radius, startAngle, endAngle)

# Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = adsk.core.Arc2D.createByCenter(center, radius, startAngle, endAngle, isClockwise)

This is a static method.


#include <Core/Geometry/Arc2D.h>

// Uses no optional arguments.
returnValue = adsk::core::Arc2D::createByCenter(center, radius, startAngle, endAngle);

// Uses optional arguments.
returnValue = adsk::core::Arc2D::createByCenter(center, radius, startAngle, endAngle, isClockwise);

Parameters

center

Point2D

A Point2D object that defines the center position of the arc in 2D space.

radius

double

The radius of the arc.

startAngle

double

The start angle in radians, where 0 is along the X-axis.

endAngle

double

The end angle in radians, where 0 is along the X-axis.

isClockwise

boolean

Specifies if the sweep of the arc is clockwise or counterclockwise from the start to end angle.

This is an optional argument whose default value is False.

Type	Description
Arc2D	Returns the newly created arc or null if the creation failed.
