Select a plane, draw a rectangle then specify the height of the box. I’ll use the “features option” section of the arc dialog box Creates a solid box. For this demo, I’ll simply click the preexisting point that I created, and you’ll see the height of the arc is defined and this first arc is now finished.Īs with any sketch tool, the arc command is still active until you hit the escape key on your keyboard, or until you activate another command. I can click to snap the height in place at any of the sketch entities that allow snapping. Then, you’ll notice as I move my mouse around freely, the arc height moves along with it. I’ll click on the left endpoint for the first point of the arc and then I’ll click on the right endpoint for the second point of the arc. This arc is commonly used when you have two endpoints that you’d like to connect with a curve.

With the 3 point arc activated, we’ll have to first define two points of the arc, and then the 3rd point will let us define the height of the arc. Select the start point, end point, and then a point on the arc. More the 3-point arc Creates an arc using three points. The arc doesn’t have any default keyboard shortcuts…so I’ll right-click and select The selection mode controls how objects are select when you drag in the canvas. More to edit the sketch…so I can draw the arcs by referencing this preexisting geometry. Drag operations to change the order they are calculated. Right-click operations in the timeline to make changes.

I’ll double click on the sketch in the timeline The timeline lists operations performed on your design. More Arcs,” “Center Point Arcs,” and “Tangent Arcs.”įor the first example, I’ll demonstrate how to create a three-point arc. There are “Three Point Creates a sketch point. From both menu locations, you’ll notice there are three different arc types. The arcs can be accessed from either the sketch dropdown menu or in the right click sketch menu. You can download the demo file in the video description. By the end of this video, you’ll know how to use all 3 Arc commands that are available in Fusion 360.įor this demo, I’ll be using some sketches that I’ve gone ahead and set up to reinforce how the arcs work.
