Drawing a polyline with arc segments

With the Draw Arcs option, you can continually draw arc segments until you select the Draw Lines option to go back to drawing line segments. When you draw arc segments, the first point of the arc is the endpoint of the previous segment. By default, you draw arc segments by specifying the endpoint of each segment. Each successive arc segment is drawn tangent to the previous arc or line segment. If you choose Close while in the Draw Arcs option, the closing segment is created as an arc.

You can also specify the arc using any of the following methods:

    Start point, included angle, center point

    Start point, included angle, radius

    Start point, center point, endpoint

    Start point, included angle, endpoint

    Start point, center point, included angle

    Start point, center point, chord length

    Start point, direction, endpoint

    Start point, radius, included angle

    Start point, second point, endpoint
