The steps of an arc definition with its start, end point and tangent:

  1. Define the start point of the arc by giving coordinates or 1584703466987-640.png  mouse-clicking.
  2. Define the end point of the arc by giving coordinates or 1584703467770-405.png  mouse-clicking.
  3. Set the tangent side with 1584703474122-637.png  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 1584703469324-692.png  mouse-clicking.
