I'm not sure if I understand your question, but I'd propose that you
- start drawing a 360 degree circle,
- and simply set it's width and height properties, which are by definition the diameter (?)
- After the circle has the right proportions, double click it and set the angle that you want it to fill.
Is there an easy way to draw short arcs through a defined angle and radius/diameter, please?
Arcs can be drawn with the circle command, but whilst the angle is displayed when drawing, the diameter isn't.
When the circle is initially drawn out, the 'start' and 'end' values are displayed and can be set and edited, but not the diameter (height and width). When editing an arc, only the start and end values and width and height of the containing box are editable - not the diameter.
I can't seem to create an arc of (say) 65 degrees with a diameter of 50mm - I never see entry boxes with 'width', 'height', 'start' and 'end' displayed at the same time for me to fill in precise values.
