The steps of an arc definition with its start, end point and tangent:
- Define the start point of the arc by giving coordinates or mouse-clicking.
- Define the end point of the arc by giving coordinates or mouse-clicking.
- Set the tangent side with mouse-clicking. Define the tangent direction from the start point with a third point (e.g. a point on a tangentially connected line) by giving coordinates or mouse-clicking.
