Available in: Sketch

Sketch an arc at the end of a line.

  1. Click Tangent arc tool icon.
  2. Click to start.
  3. Click to end.

Or click and drag to start, release to end.

You can switch between using the Line and Tangent arc sketch tools when you start sketching a line first. See Switching between Line and Tangent arc sketch tools for more information.

Optionally, immediately after the arc is created, input a numerical value (or type "=#" to input a variable) for the radius and press enter. This dimensions the arc without having to use the dimension tool.

To input a variable in any dimension field after the geometry is already sketched, the equal sign (=) is not required. Type "#" to input a variable.

See the Learning center course Introduction to Sketching (Onshape account required) for more information.
