circle tangent to two arcs and one line

[rclement]

i was wondering if you can draw a circle which would be tangent to two arcs and a line.i see it has circle tangent to 3 lines.

i accomplished it drawing the two arcs and line drew a arc and then used tangent constraints

just wondering if there was a command i dont know

Hi

This is done standardly - draw an approximate circle and give it 3 constraints.

One issue for the general case is that there are 4 possible solutions for the circle between two arcs and one line.  In the image if you used the 2 blue circles and the blue line as your input, the 4 black circles would all be valid results.

Yes, that's why using an approximate geometry sketch (before dimensions and constraints) gives it the desired direction and indicates the expected solution.

basically was doing it right figured since they have option for three lines they might be a different way
