Arcs of varying angles

D

Dave Minerath

When creating an arc, it seems to only allow arcs that cover 90 degrees. It
can be distorted in any direction, but it remains a 90 degree arc.

Is there a way to specify the size of the arc in degrees? It's hard to draw
a 45 degree angle and annotate it properly with a 90 degree arc :)

Hi Dave -

It probably isn't much more precise, but you might want to try using the
AutoShapes>Lines>Curve tool to click in 2 spots to create a straight
segment. Then go to the Draw button menu>Edit Points & drag the center of
the segment to create your arc. If you use the Grid it will help maintain
proportion, then scale it down.

Once you have one "perfect", rt-click it & Save As Picture in a safe place -
then you can insert one whenever you need it without having to recreate it
each time or hunting one down to copy/paste. The picture is saved as an EMF
& inserts as a fully editable AutoShape.
