FAQ

How do I create an arc tangent to a line and a circle in XyzPilot?

Use Arc/Tanto,L,C,R with the line reference, circle reference, radius, and IN/OUT tangency selector.

Full Answer

Use Arc/Tanto,L,C,R. The arc blends smoothly between the line and circle — starting at the tangent point on the line and ending at the tangent point on the circle.

XyzPilot Example

L0 = Horizontal line at Y=0
C0 = Centre (50,30), radius 15
R = 10

Arc/Tanto, L0, C0, R=10, YLarge, OUT
→ A0: arc tangent to L0 at start, tangent to C0 at end
   Radius = 10, blends smoothly between line and circle
