Drawing an Arc

To add an arc to a schematic:

  1. Click Draw > Primitive > Arc or click the Arc icon under Graphics on the Schematic ribbon.

This enables the Arc drawing mode.

  1. Move the cursor to the desired location in the schematic and left click to draw the first end point of the arc.
  2. Move the cursor to the desired location for the second endpoint of the arc. and left-click.

This draws a straight line between the two points and gives the cursor a drag-handle at the mid-point of the line.

  1. Drag the mid-point to establish the arc, and left click release the mode.

This shows the arc selected, with the drag handles on the end points and midpoint of the arc highlighted. If necessary, you can select a handle on the arc to change the location of the endpoints or the arc.

The arc includes a Properties window in which you can edit the arc’s properties, including: color (applies to both border and fill), line width, fill style, center coordinates, radius, and starting and ending angles.

  1. Click anywhere on the schematic off the arc to deselect it.
