Arcs

You can sketch the following arc types:

Arc types	Tool	Arc properties
Centerpoint Arc		Sketches arcs from a centerpoint, a start point, and an end point.
Tangent Arc		Sketches arcs that are tangent to sketch entities.
3 Point Arc		Sketches arcs by specifying three points (start, end, and midpoint).

The SOLIDWORKS application defaults to the last used arc type.

To access the arc tools:

• Sketch tab. Click the Arc CommandManager to select arc tools from the Arc flyout tool.
• Menu. Click Tools > Sketch Entities to select arc tools.
• Arc PropertyManager. Change to different arc tools from the Arc PropertyManager.
