An arc is a portion of a circle.

The default method for drawing arcs is to specify three points-the start point, a second point, and the endpoint. You can draw an arc using several different methods.

How do you Draw Polyline Arcs in GstarCAD?

With GStarICAD, a polyline is a connected sequence of arcs and lines that is treated as a single entity. You can draw a polyline with any linetype and using a width that either remains constant or tapers over the length of any segment. When editing a polyline, you can modify the entire polyline or change individual segments. After you specify the start point of a polyline, a prompt box provides several options as you draw, such as Distance, Halfwidth, and Width. You can specify different starting and ending widths to create a tapered polyline segment. After you draw at least one polyline segment, you can use the Undo option to remove the previous segment. After you draw two or more polyline segments, you can use the Close option to complete the command by drawing a segment that ends at the start point of the first polyline segment you drew. Choose Done to complete the command without closing the polyline.


How do you construct angle 135 degrees?

Note that 135 = 90 + 45.So first construct a right angle, and then bisect the "back" half of it:Draw (horizontal) straight line XABConstruct the perpendicular bisector at A: With the point of your compasses on A draw arcs either side of it on line segments AX and AB.Open your compasses wider, with the point on where the arc in step 2.1 cuts (intersects) AB, draw an arc above the line XAB.With the compasses set the same, with the point on where the arc in step 2.1 cuts AX, draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in step 2.Mark the point where the arcs cut as Y.Draw in line AY.Bisect angle XAY: With the point of the compasses on A, draw arcs on lines AX and AYWith the point of the compasses on where the arc drawn in step 3.1 cuts AX, draw an arc between AX and AY.With the compasses set the same, with the point on where the arc in step 3.1 cuts AY, draw an arc to cut the arc drawn in step 2.Mark the point where the arcs cut C.Draw in line ACAngle CAB is 135oIn drawing the arcs to cut, if they don't cut you may have to either increase the distance between the point and "pencil" of your compasses and/or redraw the arcs longer.


How do you Draw Rectangles and Polygons in GstarCAD?

Use RECTANGLE to draw a rectangle.You can specicy length.width.area and revolved parameter,you can also control the corner point type on the rectangle.Use POLYGON to draw a polygon.Polygons are closed polylines comprised of a minimum of three and a maximum of 1,024 equal-length sides.To draw a rectangleDo one of the following:Choose Draw > Rectangle.On the Draw 2D toolbar, click the Rectangle tool.Type rectangle, and then press Enter.Specify one corner of the rectangle.Specify the opposite corner of the rectangle.

How do you draw a spherical triangle where the sum of the angles is 190 degrees?

You could draw two arcs from the North pole to the equator, with a 10 degree separation. The two arcs and the equator would form a 190 degree spherical triangle.

Is GstarCAD compatible with dwg?

.dwg is the default drawing format of GstarCAD; at present, GstarCAD is compatible with ever version of .dwg and .dxf files from 2.5 to 2010, it is means GstarCAD is compatible from AutoCAD 2.5 to AutoCAD 2012. If you are using AutoCAD 2013, you have to exchange the file with GstarCAD and save it as earlier .dwg version before 2010. By the way, GstarCAD will be compatible with AutoCAD 2013 soon.


What is the difference between gstarcad professional and gstarcad standard and gstarcad academic?

GstarCAD Standard includes the function of 2D plane drawing. GstarCAD Professional adds 3D and dynamical block functions on the base of Standard version; Academic version includes all the functions, but there are watermarks on printings and the size of drawings are limited.
