Creating an Elliptical Arc Mid-Axis-Angles
Elliptical Arc Mid-Axis-Angles command is one of the three elliptical arc drawing techniques. An elliptical arc is created by determining the midpoint (center), two points, arc start and end points.
Location of the Elliptical Arc Mid-Axis-Angles Command

Click any point in the drawing area with the left mouse button. This point will be the center of the arc to be drawn.
Drag the mouse and click with the left mouse button to set a second point. This point will determine the size of the arc to be drawn.
