Internal arc

Post by bgreenslade » Wed 20 Apr , 2011 7:50 am

I have been tring to draw an internal arc to create a bowl shape. The arc tool only allows me to move the radius step of the proces towards the centre of the work not outwards. Am I ding something wrong or can't you do this.

There are limitations put on what you can move when youre creating an internal arc.
Sometimes it can be a bit slow to react when the arc radius is large ( ie nearly a straight line) but it can be done !

Sometimes I will create everything as lines then right-click some of them and convert to arcs.
