Creating circle segment?

[Jim Cassidy]

How do I create a segment of a circle in Designer. In Graphic for iPad, I could draw a circle and then erase unwanted parts. I did see some instructions on creating an arc shape, but that didn’t help.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Jim.

Use the Pie Tool to create segments of a circle.

Thanks for the help. It looks like once I have the pie created I need to move the radius point into the curved edge of the pie for it to be an actual circle segment, but it worked.

I actually thought you wanted to end up with a pie slice rather than an arc! If you move the central point to create a donut segment of zero thickness you’ll get an arc visually, but it doubles back on itself. A better solution is to convert the original pie slice to a curve, break the curve at the central point and then delete the resultant two nodes.
