Hi Mr. Cooper, could you show me by image please.]]> Sat, 03 Feb 2024 09:18:29 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13947&PID=38924&title=complicated-arc-construction#38924 <![CDATA[Complicated Arc Construction : Hello Dery and kent, I see parametric...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=13947&PID=38923&title=complicated-arc-construction#38923 Author: philippe JOSEPH

Hello Dery and kent, I see parametric constraints shown on your image, this should solve "all" your "problems".
Kent, your explanations won't fullfill the expectations of Dery as he wants a figured out ( on AutoCAD ) step by step drawing like I did on the previous discussion : How to Draw Arc with Known 3 Parameters.
Dery, as a student you should invetigate more on those "simples" geometric exercises.

How do you draw by technical drawing/mechanical drafting theory using AutoCAD 2014,
the R2690 arc that tangent to R30 circle at point A,
and tangent to R2100 arc at point B,
and the R2100 arc is tangent to 3£ line?
Thank you
