About Arcs
Create arcs by specifying various combinations of center, endpoint, start point, radius, angle, chord length, and direction values.
Draw Arcs by Specifying Three Points
Draw Arcs by Specifying Start, Center, End
You can create an arc using a start point, center, and a third point that determines the endpoint.
The distance between the start point and the center determines the radius. The endpoint is determined by a line from the center that passes through the third point.
Click Home tab > Draw panel > Arc drop-down > Start, Center, End.
Draw Arcs by Specifying Start, Enter, Angle
You can create an arc using a start point, center, and an included angle.
The distance between that start point and the center determines the radius. The other end of the arc is determined by specifying an included angle that uses the center of the arc as the vertex.
Click Home tab > Draw panel > Arc drop-down > Start, Center, Angle.
Click Home tab > Draw panel > Arc drop-down > Center, Start, Angle.
Draw Arcs by Specifying Start, Center, Length
You can create an arc using a start point, center, and the length of a chord.
The distance between the start point and the center determines the radius. The other end of the arc is determined by specifying the length of a chord between the start point and the endpoint of the arc.
The length of the chord of the arc determines the included angle.
Click Home tab > Draw panel > Arc drop-down > Start, Center, Length.
Draw Arcs by Specifying Start, End, Angle
You can create an arc using a start point, endpoint, and an included angle.
The included angle between the endpoints of the arc determines the center and the radius of the arc.
Draw Arcs by Specifying Start, End, Direction
You can create an arc using a start point, endpoint, and a tangent direction at the start point.
Draw Arcs by Specifying Start, End, Radius
You can create an arc using a start point, endpoint, and a radius.
Click Home tab > Draw panel > Arc drop-down > Start, End, Radius.
