    This command starts in line mode by default. If you want to start by drawing an arc, press SHIFT + A.

  2. Select the location to begin the line or arc.

    Connected lines and arcs

  • Instead of pressing SHIFT + L or SHIFT + A to switch modes, you can use Line or Arc on the ribbon.

  • You can make the first line or arc tangent or perpendicular to an element. First, move the pointer to the element to which you want to be tangent. Select when the software recognizes a Point On the relationship. Then use the intent zones to indicate if you want the line to be tangent or perpendicular.

  • Instead of selecting locations on the drawing sheet, you can type values on the ribbon. You can also use a combination of graphic and ribbon input.

  • Using the ribbon boxes to type values does not affect the settings of the Line or Arc modes.
