How to create an arc with radius and 2 points in Sketcher 2D?

Hi!

I want to create an arc with given radius and 2 points in Sketcher like:

LineArcRadius(color=Color['White'],
visibility=Visibility['VISIBLE'],
coordSys=CoordSys['FILLET'],
radius='MPR',
defPoint=[Point[pcounter-2],
Point[(pcounter-1)]],
nature=Nature['STANDARD'],
mesh=MeshLine['AIDED_MESHLINE'],
relaxation=RelaxLine['AIDED_RELAXLINE'])

But I cannot find the function in the tool bar:

and I cannot create a new line with type selection in Sketcher:

The work around is to go to the main window(?) or project area and create a new line:

Is this the normal process or what can I do in Sketcher to get access to all line features?

Thank you.

Frank M.

Hi,

From the the picture that you sent, (yellow color) there are several possibilities to create your arc. You select one and you draw your arc. Once this is done you can edit your arc and put the correct value of the radius and angle.

In Flux supervisor example there is an example on which we use the sketcher, this can help you to get familiar with the sketcher.

Flux supervisor >> example: technical tutorials >> magneto static application

Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.

I define my points and I have my radius. I don't have the angle. And the function exist in FLUX:

I can create this type of line without sketcher and with python.

I want to create exactly this type of line in sketcher. Not a work around. And for a parametrized model the angle of e.g. a fillet is not known. If I insert the angle once or use a different kind of line(arc) type then I cannot change my model anymore if the fillet arc points change the position.

Did you tried to use the fonction 'create a new arc bu two extrimites of points' with this fucntion you have acce to the angle and radius.

Thanks.

Thanks for your effort.

Again:

I need the line type: Arc defined by its radius , starting and ending points in Sketcher.

I cannot use the angle information.

Unfortunately this function is not available in the Sketcher.

Thanks.
