ii. On the Sketching tab, open the Draw toolbox and select Arc by Center (you may need to<br />
use the arrows in the toolbox to scroll down to see the correct tool). You will be drawing an<br />
arc with a radius of 2 inches, centered on Y=- 6 inches, Z=0 inches (located below the origin<br />
of Plane4). The grid settings that you have just set up will help you to position the arc and<br />
set its radius correctly.<br />

To create the arc, click the point where you want to create the center of the circle (in<br />
this case, Y=- 6 inches, Z=0 inches). Then click the point where you want to start drawing<br />
the arc (in this case Y=- 4 inches, Z=0 inches). At this stage, when you drag the unclicked<br />
mouse, DesignModeler will create an arc with a fixed radius. With the mouse button<br />
unclicked, drag through an arc of 180°. Click on Y=- 8 inches, Z=0 inches to stop the<br />
drawing process. Your drawing should now resemble Figure 1.6 (p. 13)<br />
iii. Next you will close the half-circle with a line that joins the two arc ends. On the Sketching<br />
tab, in the Draw toolbox, select Line (you may need to use the arrows in the toolbox to scroll<br />
up to see the correct tool). Draw a line from Y=- 4 inches, Z=0 inches to Y=- 8 inches, Z=0<br />
inches. This closed half-circle will be used as the profile during the sweep.<br />
