Create arcs and wedges
Arcs and wedges are drawn in two steps: first you create an ellipse or circle, and then you
reshape it into the segment you want.
To create an arc or wedge
1. Select the Arc or Wedge tool.
2. Click the mouse where you want to position the object, and then drag to draw an
ellipse or circle.
To base the arc or wedge on a circle rather than an ellipse, hold down Ctrl while you
drag.
When you release the mouse button, a set of handles appears so you can decrease the
angle of the wedge or arc from 360 degrees to the desired angle.
3. Click a handle, and drag the mouse to ‘cut out’ part of the circle.
4. To finish drawing, click the object.
5. To change how the object looks, click Properties on the context menu, or double-
click the object to open its Properties dialog box.
6. Select arc or wedge options.
For information about the options in the dialog box, see Help.
