To draw this arc, right click Arc $image\ARCB.gif$

START, END AND BULGE works very much like Start, Middle and End except that you select the arc's starting and ending points first, then a point on the arc.

Select the 1st point using the cursor or by typing numeric coordinates. The 1st point determines the arc start point.
Select the 2nd point in a similar manner. The 2nd point determines the arc end point.

CC3 adds a stretching arc cursor after you place both ends.

Select the 3rd point in a similar manner.

CC3 draws the arc and terminates the command.

Please note: If you select three points in a straight line, an arc would be mathematically impossible, so CC3 displays a message box: "Can't create entity because: Three points are in a straight line." Choose the OK button or press ENTER to clear the message.
