Create different types of arcs as individual objects.

Arcs are constant radius sections of circles.
00:07
There are many different options available for creating arcs
00:12
in poly lines, arcs can be created as part of the Polyline.
00:16
But you can also create arcs as individual objects,
00:20
which can be useful for gaining more control. During editing
00:25
in this video, you'll see how to create arcs as individual objects.
00:29
Let's briefly go through a couple of different types of arcs available
00:34
and demonstrate these on a swimming pool. Example
00:39
to access the ARCS command,
00:41
go to the home tab,
00:43
the draw panel
00:44
and click on the arc
00:46
drop down
00:48
regardless of which command is used.
00:50
All commands create AUTOCAD arcs.
00:55
Now let's get started on our example,
00:58
the pool will be placed in the upper right hand corner of the yard layout
01:03
to get started. I'll first ensure that the po layer is set current.
01:08
Now I will look at a couple options to create arcs
01:13
for this first piece.
01:15
We'll go ahead and use the start and direction option.
01:21
This is one of the easiest arc commands to use as
01:24
you click points and move the mouse to adjust the arc,
01:29
click the start point,
01:32
then click the end point
01:34
and then move your mouse in the direction
01:37
that you want the ark to be
01:40
click and place it.
01:42
And now you have created your first arc
01:45
in cases where you need to specify a specific radius value.
01:50
The start and radius option
01:54
might be your best command.
01:57
For this example,
01:58
the star point will be the end point of the arc that was previously created.
02:04
Then we'll go ahead and click an end point
02:10
and then type in a radius value for this example of 10
02:15
and click enter.
02:17
And as you can see the arc was created
02:20
based on the radius value that we specified in the command.
02:27
I can continue to add arcs as needed
02:30
to be able to finish the outline of the pool.
