You can do that now using this icon: [image] There’s a command line Mode toggle that switches between Line and Arc: [image]

yes i knows it!!! but the arc in this icon only support( direction and center) Method of Drawing arc. i suggest and need this arc support **{ startpoint+trough Point}**Method for draw arc in polyline I hope developers pay attention to this shortcoming in Rhino and add it in the next update @mary …

Sorry, maybe I’m just thick. Can you provide an example I can follow of a polyline you can not draw with the tools we have now? If we don’t understand the problem, no changes will possibly happen. We need your help to understand how this is a problem for your work flow.

In this video, I compared the execution of the polyline command between Autocad and Rhino. AutoCAD can be drawn directly on the shape below with the polyline command, but in Rhino, because the arc does not support{(startpoint+secondpoint+endpoint)or(startpoint+troghtpoint+endpoint)} this type of a…

I was able to draw this using the Center and Direction command line tools. Yes, it’s a different command pattern than AutoCAD, but it works fine. You are correct that Rhino does not have the arc End and ThroughPoint options, but using Center and Direction, you can draw the same shape. I still fai…

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. I have added your item to the youtrack system for future consideration as RH-58905 The developer may ask you for input when this issue is up for discussion. I think a “second point” option would be helpful. The “start point” is at the last point, then you can pick th…

Hi @architect.civil5 . I just tested the fix for RH-58905 The developers have already added a Through Pt option to the Polyline commmand Arc option in the Rhino 7 wip 2020-6-5 or later in record time. Command: _Polyline Start of polyline ( PersistentClose=No ) Next point of polyline. Press Enter…

@architect.civil5 I added a comment about your request to RH-58905 . Maybe a new option TangentToPrevious=Yes/No can solve the problem? I can draw the same polyline with the Direction option and SmartTrack, But it is difficult to start the second arc with the correct tangent direction b…
