· Type numeric coordinates%hlp_def_ncoords and press ENTER.

CC3 displays a circular dynamic cursor.

· use the stretching circular cursor that is displayed, or;

· Type numeric coordinates and press ENTER.

2. The prompt reads "|DynTrack| Ending Angle:". Specify the ending angle by using the stretching arc cursor that is displayed, pressing the left button when the arc looks the way you want, or type in an angle.

CC3 draws the arc counterclockwise from the starting point to the ending angle.

Note: When the prompt displays DynTrack, you can hold down the SHIFT key to "pick up" and move the arc (redefine the center point). Also, you can hold down the CTRL key to visually adjust the radius.
