Arc help -- tangent-thru point-tangent

[Code_Breaker]

I often used this in V9, but can't get it to work in X2 and X3 ... suggestion?

 

Thanks

So you want a line tangent to an arc, through a point?

 

Try the Create Line menu: Create Line tangent through point...

[LansB]

Yep, what Colin said. Select Create Line tangent through point, then select the arc, next select the point, and finally the length of the line.

I am trying to create an arc (not a line) that is tangent to two lines with the mid point of the arc thru a selected point ...

 

that is ...

create an arc by first select tangent to a line, then thru a point, and thirdly, tangent to another line

 

In v9:

Main Menu

Create

Arc

Tangent

3 ent/pts

 

pick first ine

select "point entry"

pick point

pick second line

i used that in 9 too,how about make a line that's midpoint is where your point is and then do arc tan 3

[Roger Martin from CNC Software]

Arc - Tangent to 2 entities and thru a point, with point being the "mid-point" between to other two entities (Not the mid-point of the new arc).

 

Create - Arc 3 Points

 

On the Ribbon Bar click the Tangent button to turn it ON. (The button to the left of the OK 'green check' button).

1>Click on the Line/Arc that the new entity is to be tangent to.

2> Click on the Tangent Button to turn it OFF and select the Point.

3> Click on the Tangent Button to turn it ON and select other Line/Arc to be tangent to.

just figured that out. the v92x had arc / circle edge points and that won't work
