1) 3Points:
    Three points is a default method to draw an Arc. Specify three points to draw an Arc.

Steps:
Specify start point of arc or [Center]: mouseclick 1
Specify second point of arc or [Center /End]: mouseclick 2
Specify end point of arc: mouseclick 3

2) Start, Center, End


Steps:
Specify start point of arc or [Center]: mouseclick 1
Specify second point of arc or [Center /End]: c (enter)
Specify center point of arc: mouseclick 2
Specify end point of arc: mouseclick 3

Note: Use the Ctrl key to draw an arc in the clockwise direction.

3)Start, Center, Angle


Steps:
Specify start point of arc or [Center]: mouseclick 1
Specify second point of arc or [Center /End]: c (enter)
Specify center point of arc: mouseclick 2
Specify end point of arc or [Angle/chord Length]: a (enter)
Specify included angle: 135 (enter)

Note: Use the Ctrl key / Negative value of angle to draw an arc in the clockwise direction. Included angle value should not be 0 & 360.

4) Start, Center, Length

Specify start point of arc or [Center]: mouseclick 1
Specify second point of arc or [Center /End]: e (enter)
Specify end point of arc: mouseclick 2
Specify center point  of arc or [Angle/Direction/Radius]: d (enter)
Specify tangent direction for the start point of arc: Mouse click

7) Start, End, Radius


Steps:
Specify start point of arc or [Center]: mouseclick 1
Specify second point of arc or [Center /End]: e (enter)
Specify end point of arc: mouseclick 2
Specify center point  of arc or [Angle/Direction/Radius]: r (enter)
Specify radius of arc: 5 (enter)

8) Center, Start, End


Steps:
Specify start point of arc or [Center]: c (enter)
Specify center point of arc: mouseclick 1
Specify start point of arc: mouseclick 2
Specify end point of arc or [Angle / Chord length]: mouseclick 3
