The Make Arcs Tangential Function

The Make Arcs Tangential function corrects the tangency of arc segments. To perform the function, you select geometry and press the Space bar to accept the selection.

To open Make Arcs Tangential: 

 

  • In the Reorganize group, of the Utilities ribbon, click Make Arcs Tangential.

The Data Entry Parameters

Parameters

 

  • Minimum Angle - sets the smallest amount of deviation from tangency allowed for the selected segments.
  • Maximum Angle - sets the largest angle of deviation that is corrected for the selected segments.

 

Selected Geometry

 

(Delete) - removes the highlighted item from the Selected Geometry list.

(Delete All) - removes all entities from the Selected Geometry list.
The list will display all entities currently selected for the function.
