1.2.1 Drawing Arcs (3) Draw Arcs by Specifying Start, Center, Length When you have a start point and a center point you can snap to; when you know the chord length, use the Start, Center, Length or the Center, Start, Length option. The length of the chord of the arc determines the included angle. ?? (4) Draw Arcs by Specifying Start, End, Direction/Radius 1.2.1 Drawing Arcs (5) Draw Contiguous Arcs and Lines Immediately after you complete an arc, you can start a line tangent to the arc at an endpoint by starting the LINE command and pressing ENTER at the Specify First Point prompt. You need to specify only the line length. 1.2.2 Drawing Circles You can create circles in several ways. The default method is to specify the center and the radius. Three other ways to draw a circle are shown in the illustration. 1.2.2 Drawing Circles Draw a Circle Tangent to Other Objects To create a circle that is tangent to other objects, select the objects and then specify the radius of the circle. In the illustrations below, the bold circle is the one being drawn, and points 1 and 2 select the objects to which it is tangent. 1.2.3 Drawing Donuts Donuts are filled rings or solid-filled circles that actually are closed polylines with width. To create a donut, you specify its inside and outside diameters and its center. You can continue creating multiple copies with the same diameter by specifying different center points. To create solid-filled circles, specify an inside diameter of 0. Fill On Fill Off 1.2.4 Drawing Ellipses The shape of an ellipse is determined by two axes that define its length and width. The longer axis is called the major axis, and the shorter one is the minor axis. The illustrations below show two different ellipses created by specifying axis and distance. The third point specifies only a distance and does not necessarily designate the axis endpoint. 1.2.4 Drawing Splin
