![How to Create Arcs in Fusion 360 (all 3 explained)
3 Arc commands are available in Fusion 360. For this demo, I’ll be using some sketches that I’ve gone ahead and set up to reinforce how the arcs work. You can download the demo file from the link below.
The arcs can be accessed from either the sketch dropdown menu or in the right-click sketch menu. From both menu locations, you’ll notice there are three different arc types. There are Three-Point Arcs, Center Point Arcs, and Tangent Arcs.
