Arcs in sketches

The arc tools in the Sketch > Create panel let you create different types of arcs as sketch geometry or construction geometry in an active sketch in Fusion.

You can use the following commands to create arcs in an active sketch:

• 3-Point Arc
• Center Point Arc
• Tangent Arc

Note: Before you can create sketch geometry, you must use the Create Sketch command to create a new sketch or right-click an existing sketch and select Edit Sketch to enter the Sketch contextual environment.

3-Point Arc

The 3-Point Arc command creates an arc defined by 3 points.

You click to place the start point, place the end point, then place a third point that lies along the arc.

Center Point Arc

The Center Point Arc command creates an arc defined by 2 end points and one center point.

You click to place the center point, place the start point, then place the end point. Alternatively, you can specify an angle value.

Tangent Arc

The TAngent Arc command creates an arc with tangency.

You click to place the 2 end points. The arc will maintain tangency with the geometry it connects to at each end.
