How do I create a tangent arc between two lines in XyzPilot?

Use Arc/Fillet,L,L with the two line references and the required radius. The arc is automatically tangent to both lines.

Full Answer

Use Arc/Fillet,L,L. The fillet arc is automatically tangent to both lines at its start and end points. The arc centre is computed analytically — it lies at distance R from both lines.

XyzPilot Example

L0 = Horizontal line at Y=0
L1 = Vertical line at X=80

Arc/Fillet, L0, L1, R=20
→ A0: centre=(60,20), radius=20
   Start: (60,0) — tangent to L0
   End: (80,20) — tangent to L1
   Sweep: 90 CCW
