All arcs are defined in a clockwise direction and all calculations are made in two dimen-
sions.
Select
Ref.Arc and then the method to define the arc by:
• Centre & Start
• Start,End&Radius
• 3 Points
Field
Description
Point ID of the start point.
Start Pt
Point ID of the center point.
Centre Pt
Point ID of the mid point.
Mid Pt
End Pt
Point ID of the end point.
Radius of the arc.
Radius
A positive value, for example 100 m, is for a clockwise direction of the
reference arc. A negative value, for example -100 m, is for an anticlock-
wise direction of the reference arc.
