As Aaron and Maarten said, the easiest way to create the arc is creating first the whole circle, set it's width and height, switch to the ellipse tool, select the circle and there you have the angles boxes to set its start and end values.

You can set the width and height when using the Selection tool. Draw your circle, set the angles, switch to the Selection tool, and set the width and height for the diameter.
The problem is that the 'height' and 'width' is of the enclosing box, which in the case of an arc isn't the diameter (try drawing a short arc and you'll see what I mean.
I've tried drawing a circle of the required diameter and adjusted the arc of the required angle to fit over it, then deleted the circle, but this is a kludge at best.
Thanks for the suggestions so far.
