qd ; the chord angle used to draw the arc
• The specified coordinates of the two points are relative to the current pen position.
• The command draws an arc from the current position, through the specified intermediate position and
finishing at the specified end position.
• After completion of the command the current cursor position is at the end of the arc.
• An arc can be drawn clockwise or anti-clockwise.
• If the current scaling mode is not isotropic, the arc may be elliptical rather than circular.
• The chord angle must be in the range 0.5° to 180°.
• The default chord angle is 5°.
