Chris Heath Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I know a number of people have asked for an arc tool over the years, but so far it hasn't appeared in Affinity Designer. It's an essential tool for drawing geometric patterns, e.g. Islamic geometric patterns, along with gothic tracery, arches, etc. Here is a video to show the functionality of the arc tool. Functionality: Snap the centre of the arc to any point on a line or curve, the end of a line, or intersection of lines/curves Snap the circumference to a line, the end of a line, or intersection of lines/curves by selecting the end point of an arc, extend the arc snap tangent to curves using the arc tool, draw a complete circle ==== VIDEO OVERVIEW BELOW >>>> arc-tool-hb.mp4 Frozen Death Knight, Danielson, Matthias and 5 others 8 Quote You can: find my website here: www.geometrical.design buy fabric, wallpaper and home decor items that feature my work on Spoonflower join the Geometrical Design Secrets community on Facebook check my work out on Behance, and see me teaching at Geometrical Design School Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithferion Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Those are great examples on purpose and functionality. It'd also save time to do that instead of drawing circles and then deleting the parts you don't want. And I'd call it Compass Tool, by the way. Best regards!
