Thank you both for your replies, Kent and Lee.  Based on what you were each describing, I realized that what I wanted was impossible with an arc (circular).  Instead, I need an elliptical arc to get the general shape I want -- see screenshot below.

 

...but then I ran into the next issue.  Elliptical arcs can't be converted to polylines with the pedit command.  When I set the PELLIPSE system variable to 1, the ellipse command changes and I lose the option to create elliptical arcs instead of full ellipses.  Is there a way around this?  Polylines are critical to the subsequent steps.

 

Apologies if this second question ought to be a new thread, but others encountering my original issue may run into the same follow-on question.

 

Also, please excuse the trailing zeroes.  I'm procedurally generating the AutoCAD scripts in another language (Matlab), and that's just the default precision that it writes out to the .scr file.
