Arc Tangent to Two Points

Menu: Draw / Arcs / Tangent Arc

Toolbox Icon:

This command lets you draw an arc of a specified radius that is tangent to two specified lines. It works much like the Fillet command, except that it doesn’t make any changes to the two lines.

This command is also available through BasicCAD via the Arc7 command.

Here is a sample macro that draws two lines, then an arc tangent to both lines with a radius of 7.

Line

{

<PointXYZ 9.5,34,0

<PointXYZ 19,12.5,0

}

Line

{

<PointXYZ 27,37,0

<PointXYZ 25,12,0

}

Arc7

{

<PointXYZ 17,16,0

<PointXYZ 26,18,0

<Radius 7

}
