Several additional key-ins can be used to control how the tool works: CONSGEOM SET SHOWALTSOLUTIONS <OFF | ON> — If set to ON (the default), and a constraint snap is used, the tool displays all possible sizes and orientations of the element that would satisfy the snap. The proposed element nearest the pointer location is shown in normal symbology, while other possibilities are shown as dashed in muted color.
CONSGEOM SET CONTINUEARCS [OFF | ON] — If set to ON, when you finish placing an arc by edge, the tool restarts by automatically adopting the last point placed as the start point on the next arc. AccuDraw will be oriented to be tangent to the previous arc. The default value for this setting is OFF.
CONSGEOM SET DYNAMICREVERSE [OFF | ON] — (Direction disabled only) If set to ON (the default), the sweep direction reverses automatically whenever the pointer crosses over the line from the center to the start point.
CONSGEOM SET SHOWFEASIBLEREGION [OFF | ON] — If set to ON (the default), a dashed red line or circle shows where the pointer can move. If it moves outside of this area, a heavy line weight red X displays, indicating that the arc cannot be completed at this location.
CONSGEOM CONSTRAIN ARCCHORDHEIGHT [LOCK | SET <value>|UNLOCK] — Specifies the distance from the start-end point chord to the peak of the arc. This can be used as an alternative means of defining the arc when the start and end points of the arc are known. It can also be used to define the sweep, given radius, or vice versa.
CONSGEOM CONSTRAIN ARCSECTORAREA [LOCK | SET <value>|UNLOCK] — Specifies the area of the sector of the circle that is defined by the arc. That is sweep/360*pi*r2. This can be used to define the sweep, given the radius, or vice versa. The value must be specified in square master units only.
