Section 8.11 for a discussion of tangency.
DIRECTION
: is the clockwise (input 1), or counterclockwise (input 2) direction of the
arc
X END
: is the X dimension to the end of the arc cut; incremental is from X
Begin
Y END
: is the Y dimension to the end of the arc cut; incremental is from Y
Begin
X CENTER
: is the X dimension to the center of the arc; incremental is from X
End
Y CENTER
: is the Y dimension to the center of the arc; incremental is from Y
End
CONRAD
: is the dimension of a tangential radius to the next event
RADIUS
: is the radius of the arc
CHORD ANGLE
: is the angle spanned by the arc
In addition to the normal Softkeys, this additional one will appear in A.G.E. Arc
programming:

Skipping Over Prompts
In the A.G.E., events don't have to be fully defined before you can go to the next one.
You can
skip the data you don’t know by using the
Up or Down arrow keys. After you
press the Down Arrow key at the last prompt, the event will move to the left side of the
screen and the Select Event screen will appear.
When skipping over prompts or editing, always use the Up and Down arrow keys.
Using INC SET or ABS SET will change the data.
