How do I create an arc tangent to two circles in XyzPilot?

Use Arc/Tanto,C,C,R with the two circle references, the required radius, and IN/OUT tangency selector.

Full Answer

Use Arc/Tanto,C,C,R. The arc blends smoothly between the two circles, starting at the tangent point on C1 and ending at the tangent point on C2.

XyzPilot Example

C0 = Centre (0,0), radius 20 C1 = Centre (80,0), radius 20 R = 30 Arc/Tanto, C0, C1, R=30, YLarge, OUT → A0: arc tangent to both circles, upper solution Tangent to C0 at start, tangent to C1 at end
