CIRCLE, PCENT, RAD, PAXIS, PZERO, ARC, NSEG
Generates circular arc lines.
PCENTKeypoint defining the center of the circle (in the plane of
the circle). If PCENT = P, graphical picking is
enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI).
RADRadius of the circle. If RAD is
blank and PCENT = P, the radius is the distance
from PCENT to PZERO.
PAXISKeypoint defining axis of circle (along with PCENT).
If PCENT = P and PAXIS is
omitted, the axis is normal to the working plane.
PZEROKeypoint defining the plane normal to circle (along with PCENT and PAXIS)
and the zero degree location. Need not be in the plane of the circle. This
value is not required if PAXIS is defined along
the Y axis (that is, a circle in the XZ plane).
ARCArc length (in degrees). Positive follows right-hand rule
about PCENT-PAXIS vector.
Defaults to 360°.
NSEGNumber of lines around circumference (defaults to minimum
required for 90°-maximum arcs, i.e., 4 for 360°). Number of keypoints
generated is NSEG for 360° or NSEG +
1 for less than 360°.
Generates circular arc lines (and their corresponding keypoints). Keypoints are generated at regular angular locations (based on a maximum spacing of 90°). Arc lines are generated connecting the keypoints. Keypoint and line numbers are automatically assigned, beginning with the lowest available values [NUMSTR]. Adjacent lines use a common keypoint. Line shapes are generated as arcs, regardless of the active coordinate system. Line shapes are invariant with coordinate system after they are generated.
