obj = CIRCLE/CENTER,point,TANTO,line[,START,start angle, END,end angle]
Creates a circle which is tangent to a specified line using a previously defined center point. The arc lies in the plane containing the center point and the line. You may also define start and end angles for the circle.
Parameter |
Description |
CENTER |
Minor word that indicates that the center of the circle is an existing point. |
point |
A previously defined point which establishes the center of the circle. |
TANTO |
Minor word that indicates that the circle is to be tangent to an existing object. |
line |
An existing line which the circle is to be tangent to. |
START |
The optional parameter START indicates that the starting angle for the arc is to be specified. |
start angle |
The starting angle of the arc as measured from the positive X axis of the work coordinate system. |
END |
The optional parameter END indicates that the ending angle for the arc is to be specified. |
end angle |
The ending angle of the arc as measured from the positive X axis of the work coordinate system. |
NOTE: If the plane defined by the line and center point are not
parallel to the WCS, the system ignores the start and end angles and creates a
full circle.
