Petar Petrenko Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi, where I can find arc shape tool? There is no such. Only elipse and pie. Why it is not as easy as in CorelDRAW -- moving the control point inside elipse/circle creates pie, moving outside creates arc?

firstdefence Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Use the donut shape, set the Hole Radius to 100% Take a look at the settings from the context bar above the workspace. They produce this arc... ashf and Petar Petrenko 1 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

To access the Arc tool, you need to select the Ellipse tool. Then on the context toolbar at the top, you have 3 options. The Ellipse, Pie, and Arc. However you can create an Arc with any of them. With Shape tool selected, click on a node and drag the node around the circumference. If your mouse is on the outside, an Arc is created, ie; it's not closed. If on the inside a closed shape is created. Any of the 3 choices can produce the other two. Use the Arc tool, and you can create a Pie or Ellipse. With Designer, use the Pie tool, then with the Node tool, drag the middle red node towards the outside, and you have an Arc.

Inkscape has the same option for the Ellipse tool. Ron P. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
