Arc Length

Measure the length of an arc. Two modes are supported.

When the first point lands on an existing CIRCLE, ARC, or polyline bulge in the drawing, lock mode is automatically entered:

  • The cursor is constrained to the circle / arc
  • A circular snap indicator is shown
  • The arc is automatically generated along the sweep direction of the mouse

Ctrl flips between the major arc / minor arc direction.

Three-Point Free Mode

When the first point is not on any arc, three-point mode is automatically entered:

  1. Start point
  2. Pass-through point
  3. End point—a real-time preview of the arc is shown

Display

The arc is drawn on the canvas, plus an arc-length badge.

After Creation

The endpoint grips can be dragged to adjust.
