Arc With Center and Radii Points

General

• You can sketch an arc by clicking a center point and two radius points.
• The first radius point defines the starting point and radius of the arc.
• Instead of clicking the location of the radius point, you can enter the radius of the arc from the keyboard, which automatically adds a radius constraint to the arc.
• If you click the location of the center point of the arc from the origin of the sketch, the end point of a line, or the center point of another circle, the program automatically adds a concentricity constraint to the circle with the aforementioned element.
