Arc tangent to two entities

or
Arc tangent to two elements
This automenu option allows creating an arc tangent to two entities simultaneously (circles, arcs or line
segments). The arc construction begins with subsequent selection of two reference entities defining the
tangency with the arc. As in the previous case, the selected elements are highlighted. A circle will start
rubberbanding on the screen, tangent to the selected entities. The position and the size of the circle change as
the pointer moves. The circle position and size can be modified using the key.
Next, define the radius (diameter) of the auxiliary circle, by either entering a specific value in the property
window or by clicking . As a result, the position of the auxiliary circle will be fixed. The nodes will be
created at the tangency points between the circle and the entities.
What is left is to define the position of the arc itself in the auxiliary circle between the two nodes. To do this,
simply move the pointer to the desired position - the rubberbanding arc will be flipping with the pointer.
Select the desired position and click . This will fix the arc.

This option, just like previous ones, contains a pull-down list of options for
constructing various types of circles.
