Find.
- Select the line or arc nearest the end to which the new tangent arc is to be attached.
- Specify one of the following types of entries to use:
- Point: Enter P and then specify the end of the chord. The curve is then drawn.
- Radius: Enter R and then 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.
Note: When drawing a curve, specifying a positive radius or degree of curve draws the curve clockwise or to the right of the starting angle, whereas a negative radius or degree of curve draws the type curve counterclockwise or to the left.
After you enter the radius or degree of curve, the following prompt is displayed:
Select entry [Tangent/Chord/Delta/Length/External/Mid-ordinate] <Length>:
- 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 Delta, or D, and then enter the delta angle, 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 External, or E, and then enter the external distance, or pick the distance in the drawing.
- Enter Mid-ordinate, or M, and then enter the mid-ordinate distance, or pick the distance in the drawing.
