Arch Lengths

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if there was a way to set the length of an arch by typing in the length I want it to be when making it or altering it by typing it in like you can with the line commands.

Use arc, center, start, length. Look up Arc in help and display all hidden
text.

Hi,

not sure you can get autocad to actually complete this for you. i have written an excel formula that might help. lets say you have an arc length of 1500mm and a chord length of 950mm, input these 2 sizes and get a radius returned for your arc. enter the arc at this radius and your arc length will be 1500mm. if its not what your looking for then...........


regs,
