UtilsPlugin2 > Circle arc

Keyboard shortcut: Shift+C

Simplifies drawing of circle arcs.

Depending on the selected objects, circle arc produces different results:

1. Three nodes selected:
   
   
   
   A new way forming the arc is created following the order of the nodes' selection.
   
   
2. One way selected:
   
   
   
   The arc is "fused" into the selected way between its' last three nodes using these three nodes to specify the arc.
   
   
3. One way and three of its' nodes selected:
   
   
   
   The arc is "fused" into the selected way between the three selected nodes using them to specifiy the arc.

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 advanced preferences with the key:

curves.circlearc.angle-separation

Default value is 20.
