AutoCAD Arcs Command Access.
1)Command Line: ARC or A Enter.
2)Ribbon: Home tab > Draw panel > Arc.
First: 3 Points ARC method circle
This command creates an AutoCAD Arcs using three points on drawing canvas. Using the default method for creating an arc, you specify a start point, a second point, and an end point. The arc radius and center point are calculated based on the position of the three consecutive points you specify.
For 3 points AutoCAD Arcs, you have to select [Draw panel>>Arc>>3 Points] from the ribbon then pick a point on Drawing canvas for the 1st point of your arc. Then Specify Next point of arc which means you need to select second point of the ARC. After clicking point on drawing canvas, specify last or end point for arc. then the arc will be created.
Select [Draw panel>>Arc>>Start, Center, End] from the Ribbon . This method is not same as 3-points circle because you have to mention radius of circular. Specify center point of arc The 2nd point represent Radius of AutoCAD Arcs or you can mention a radius value also. But we are going to select the 2nd point on drawing canvas. After clicking the 2nd point, you will see that you may drag the cross hair by making a circular motion. Specify last or end point of arc by clicking on drawing canvas.
Third: Start, Center, Angle circle.
This method is quite same as last method [Start, Center, End circle] but you need to specify the angle of the AutoCAD Arcs.
select [Draw panel>Arc>Start, Center, Angle] from the Ribbon. Then click your 1st point on drawing canvas then Specify 2nd point of arc i.e center point of arc: Specify last or end point of arc or Specify angle of the arc.
Fourth:Start, Center, Length circle.
Again this is quite same with last two method of ARC . but instead of providing radius or angle of arc you need to specify the chord or length of the chord.
select [Draw panel>>Arc>>Start, Center, Length] from Ribbon . Then click your 1st point on drawing canvas.Specify 2nd point of arc i.e. center point of arc. Then after clicking your 2nd point Specify last or end point of arc or simply Specify chord length.pick point on drawing canvas to define chord. The line represents the chord and the 1st point you click on drawing canvas and the End point defines the chord length.
Fifth: Start, End, Angle circle.
select [Draw panel>Arc>Start, End, Angle] from the ribbon . Then click 1st point on the drawing canvas then Specify End point of circular arc. Then Specify Specify included angle subtended by start and end point at the center of arc..
Sixth: Start, End, Direction circle.
To make this kind of Arc
select [Draw panel>>Arc>>Start, End, Direction] from the Ribbon. Then select 1st point on drwing canvas then Specify End point of circular arc. Then Specify the tangent direction for the startor 1st point of arc. AutoCAD need the direction, in order to make the arc ,
Seventh: Start, End, Radius circle.
now to make this arc, method is similar to the last one.
select [Draw panel>>Arc>>Start, End, Radius] from the Ribbon. Then click 1st point on the drawing canvas then Specify End point of circular arc: Then Specify radius of arc.
Eight: Center, Start, End circle.
To draw, select [Draw panel>Arc>Center, Start, End] from the Ribbon. Specify the center point of arc: Then Specify start point of arc and then Specify end point of arc .
Ninth: Center Start, Angle circle.
This arc is another form of the the arc [Center, Start, End circle] .
Tenth: Center Start, Length circle.
Just another alternative of the [Center, Start, End] arc.
Eleventh: Continue arc.
select [Draw panel>>Arc>>Continue] from the ribbon. Specify 1st point of arc and then Specify end point of arc.you have to mention the other point the arc you want to create To make a continuous arc, make next arc on the last arc , the second arc you created will itself connect to the end point of the previous arc .

Arc Note:
Arcs are drawn in a counter clockwise direction unless using the 3-Point default method.
