which addcurve method to use for starting with a curve?

I have a list of segments, and want to make an alignment.
I looked at the align.entities methods for an hour and could not figure out which one to use for an alignment starting
with an arc.
I would like to use AddFixedCurve1, but it has a previous objectid parameter.
I cannot assume the segment after the arc is tangent.
Maybe I have to start with a tangent and delete it later?

Any help appreciated.

sure enough, the AddFixedCurve1 will not work without a previous object ID.
I'll try adding a dummy tangent and removing later

ok, the add dummy tangent and remove later works.
Still, must be a better way.

I just used AddFixedCurve1 and specified 0 as the previous segment parameter, and it seems to work.

It was a while ago now; I can't remember if I determined that the first segment was segment 1 or not. But if you are creating a new alignment and just want to start with a curve, AddFixedCurve1 should work.

hmm, I did not realize the ID was just an index. Thanks for the tip.

answer was to use AddFixedCurve1 with 0 as previous ID param
