Is it possible to draw an arc from a known point, with a known radius and make it tangent to a line?

Message 2 of How would you grab a 'tangent' on the line if it's there first and the arc comes in second? Very intriguing problem. Message 3 of The arc does not necessarily pass through this third point, as shown in the illustration. Draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point 1 using a center point 2 with a specified included angle. If the angle is negative, a clockwise arc is drawn. Draws either a minor or a major arc based on the distance of a straight line between the start point and endpoint.

If the chord length is positive, the minor arc is drawn counterclockwise from the start point. If the chord length is negative, the major arc is drawn counterclockwise. Starts by specifying the endpoint of the arc. Draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point 1 to an endpoint that falls on an imaginary ray drawn from the center point 3 through the second point specified 2.

Draws an arc counterclockwise from the start point 1 to an endpoint 2 , with a specified included angle. Begins the arc tangent to a specified direction. It creates any arc, major or minor, clockwise or counterclockwise, beginning with the start point 1 , and ending at an endpoint 2.

The direction is determined from the start point. Draws the minor arc counterclockwise from the start point 1 to the endpoint 2.

The circle command is used to draw a circle by specifying the center point and radius. Specify the center point of a circle on the workspace or viewport. Specify the radius of the circle. The Arc and Spiral tools make it easy to create unique and interesting shapes. These tools draw curved lines to create an individual arc or a Spiral wind. An arc consists of an x and y axis length, open or closed path, arc direction known as the Base Along , arc slope, and arc fill optional.

The arc is defined as the smooth curve formed by joining two or more points. The arc of a circle is defined as the portion of the circumference of a circle. We are required to press the Ctrl key to change the direction of the arc in the clockwise. A compass, more accurately known as a pair of compasses, is a technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs. As dividers, it can also be used as a tool to step out distances, in particular, on maps.

Compasses can be used for mathematics, drafting, navigation and other purposes. The arc can be drawn by specifying the starting point, center, and the endpoint.
