Three methods listed at the top and examples below. Catchphrase according to tool tip. Method 3 seems broken.

-**Simplifies drawing of circle arcs.**
+**Create a circle arc.**
 
-Depending on the selected [Concepts/Object objects], circle arc produces different results:
+According to the Selection one out of three methods is used to draw a circle arc.
 
-1. **Three nodes** selected:[[BR]][[BR]]
+1. **One way** selected:\\
+ The arc is "fused" at the end of the selected way.  
+ New nodes will be placed between the last three nodes if needed (helpful directly in [wikitr:/Help/Action/Draw Draw] mode).
+
+1. **Three nodes** selected:\\
+ A new way forming the arc is created following the order of the nodes' selection.
+
+1. One way **and** three of its nodes selected:\\
+ See last example below.
+
+Examples:
+
+* One way selected[[BR]][[BR]]
+ [[Image(circle_arc_way.4.png)]]
+ [[Image(circle_arc_way_arc.png)]][[BR]][[BR]]
+ The arc is "fused" into the selected way between its last three nodes.  
+ They are used to specify the arc.

  A new way forming the arc is created following the order of the nodes' selection.[[BR]][[BR]]
-1. **One way** selected:[[BR]][[BR]]
- [[Image(circle_arc_way.4.png)]]
- [[Image(circle_arc_way_arc.png)]][[BR]][[BR]]
- The arc is "fused" into the selected way between its' last three nodes using these three nodes to specify the arc.[[BR]][[BR]]
-1. **One way and three of its' nodes** selected:[[BR]][[BR]]
+* One way and three of its nodes selected:[[BR]][[BR]]

  The arc is "fused" into the selected way between the three selected nodes using them to specifiy the arc.
+ Opposing to the two pictures above, currently no new nodes are created and only the middle node is moved, proportionally distributing the nodes in the arc. This is a bug.
 
-**Notes**:
-* If multiple ways share the nodes under 2. or 3., those ways are modified, too.
-* Currently the middle node is moved, proportionally distributing the nodes in the arc.
-
-== Advanced Preferences ==
-The maximum angle between two points in the arc (ie. the "resolution") can be set in the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preferences] with the key:
-{{{
-curves.circlearc.angle-separation
-}}}
+Notes:
+* The middle [Concepts/Object nodes] will be moved even when it is part of other ways by the methods 1. and 3.
+* The maximum angle between two nodes in the arc (ie. the "resolution") can be set in the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preferences] with the key {{{curves.circlearc.angle-separation}}}.
 Default value is 20.
