Hi All,
 
  Not sure if it's just me (and my workmate) but can anybody get the "start, end, radius" command to work in AutoCAD 2010.
 
 Just want to make sure it's not a "Tuesday morning" thing.
 
Thanks

Works fine for me.
What happens when you try it?

still not working.
 
 I pick my to points and enter the radius and it says
 
"Start and end angle must differ.*Invalid*"
 
  I did it another way, but it would be nice if the tools worked.
 
It will probrably start working again soon.

When you create an arc you can draw it in two different ways:
A) You invoke the comman ARC, then you pick start point, then pick second point and then a third point wich determines radius and angle for the arc. In this method, you can't specify radius through your command line. You can only pick three points.
B)You can use ARC, then start point and then read the options at your command line. There you'll find you can choose "Center" or "Endpoint" In your case, you have to choose "Endpoint". This way you'll be prompted for the arc's endpoint and you'll be able to type the radius you want.
