Topic: How Do You Draw These Arcs? Posted: 10.Feb.2018 at 20:32 |
Can someone please tell me how to draw these arcs (see below pic) in AutoCAD?

Hello dery ( sorry John ) it's possible to draw the all thing using : OFFSET by 0.6875 , ccircle r 0.500 tangent to line/tangent to circle, OFFSET by 1.000, CIECLE r 1.000 , CIRCLE r 1.000. This is not so complicate and you will have to use the fixed dimensions to draw circles of known radius giving the good inerstections and dimensions.

I am sorry but I do not understand. Can you explain the step-by-step in detail by using an image?

I am sorry but I still don't understand. Please don't answer once for all like you did in your post #4. Now, can you tell me what is the next step of my drawing in post #1?

The steps are listed in the explanation and numbered 0 through 4. Why is it necessary for us to hold your hand and take you through them one by one? They seem straight forward enough. Is it that you are unfamiliar with one of the commands? If so that would point to a basic lack of understanding of AutoCAD. Is that the case here?

How do you draw the green circle (the r.500)?

You're kidding us right? Do you see the words "tangent tangent"? What command and what option would allow you to specify a radius and two different tangent points for a single circle? Think hard. The answer is practically staring you in the face.

What do you mean with "tangent tangent"? Is it a Ttr command?
