Chord Length Draws either a minor or a major arc based on the distance of
a straight line between the start point and endpoint.
If the chord length is positive, the minor arc is drawn counterclockwise from
the start point. If the chord length is negative, the major arc is drawn
counterclockwise.
Specify length of chord: Specify a length
End
Specifies the endpoint of the arc.
Specify end point of arc:
Specify center point of arc or [Angle/Direction/Radius]:
Center Point Draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to an
endpoint that falls on an imaginary ray drawn from the center point (3)
through the second point specified (2).
Angle Draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point (1) to an endpoint
(2), with a specified included angle. If the angle is negative, a clockwise arc is
drawn.
Specify included angle: Enter an angle in degrees or specify an angle by moving the
pointing device counterclockwise
Direction Begins the arc tangent to a specified direction. It creates any arc,
major or minor, clockwise or counterclockwise, beginning with the start point
