Learn how to draw arcs easily in Illustrator.
Select over the canvas where you want the arc to begin.
In the Arc Segment Tool Options dialog box, set the following options as required:
- Reference point locator : Specify the point from which the arc is drawn.
- Length X‑Axis: Specify the width of the arc.
- Length Y‑Axis: Specify the height of the arc.
- Type: Specify whether you want the arc to be an Open or a Closed path.
- Base Along: Specify the direction of the arc by selecting X Axis or Y Axis depending on whether you want to draw the arc’s base along the horizontal (X) or vertical (Y) axis.
- Slope: Specify the direction of the arc’s slope by entering either a negative value for a Concave (inward) slope or a positive value for a Convex (outward) slope. A slope of 0 creates a straight line.
Select OK.
