Hi,

see picture:

With Tangent Point Circle, I can easily create the lowest arc, but is there an easy trick to create the green arc?? The Tangent Point Circle always has the centre opposite of the 2 circles it's tangent to, and I sometimes want it the other way around.
The only way I can create it now is by creating 2 construction circles first...
Thanks!
Jaap

Try the Fillet Two Lines tool and be sure to suppress the trimming by holding down the Ctrl key.

Also, click near to the intended intersection spot as ViaCAD takes this location into account when it works out the arc.
