For more information, see Drawing Arcs and Full Circles.

The Geometry methods are:

Centerpoint, Three Points, Tangent Point for circles,

Arc/Circle General Settings Panel

The General Settings panel is similar to those of the Line, Arc/Circle, Polyline and Spline tools.

See description at Line General Settings Panel.

For Arc/Circles only:

Circles and Ellipses are closed elements with no starting point or endpoint to receive an Arrowhead, and therefore do not support them.

Arc/Circle Properties Panel

See description at Line Properties Panel.
