Draw Curved Objects

Curved objects are arcs, circles, polyline arcs, donuts, ellipses, and splines.

Draw Arcs

To create an arc, you can specify various combinations of center, endpoint,
start point, radius, angle, chord length, and direction values.
You can create arcs in several ways. With the exception of the first method,
arcs are drawn counterclockwise from the start point to the endpoint.
Draw Arcs by Specifying Three Points
You can create an arc by specifying three points. In the following example,
the start point of the arc snaps to the endpoint of a line. The second point of
the arc snaps to the middle circle in the illustration.
