I have a part drawn by someone and it has a pocket with round corners. If the two lines entering a radius are not perpendicular, other than by trial and error, how does one find the center of the arc? I can click on the arc and it is blue but I cannot find the center point.

If it is a true arc, on the construct menu there's an option to create a point at the centre of an arc. If all you want is the position you can use the inspect tool, just select the arc and all info is shown.

Point at centre of circle, sphere or taurus works with arcs.

It now works as you stated. I could be crazy, but it did not work that way earlier today.

Thank you very much.
