Feature Request: Three-Point Arc Tool in Sketch Mode

[structurednewstore-rgb]

Please add a true Three-Point Arc tool to Sketch Mode, similar to Onshape and other traditional CAD programs.

Proposed workflow:

Click the first endpoint.

Click the second endpoint.

Click a third point to define the arc's curvature.

The software should automatically calculate the circular arc through those three points, maintaining a constant radius.

Additional requirements:

Allow numerical radius and diameter adjustments.

Maintain snapping to existing points and geometry.

Allow trimming and extending the arc.

Preserve connected sketch geometry and closed profiles.

Support editing the three defining points after creation.

Currently, Smooth Curve and Bézier Curve are unnecessarily complicated for creating simple, precise arches.

A dedicated Three-Point Arc tool would significantly improve mechanical drafting and Sketch Mode usability.

@structurednewstore-rgb good idea, and it is built for the next release: the sketch gets an Arc tool next to Line. Click the two ends, then a third point the arc runs through, and you get a true circular arc between them. A preview follows the pointer before the third click, and the message names the radius. An end clicked on an existing point joins it, so an arc can close an outline.

After that the arc is ordinary sketch geometry: you can move its points, cut it or erase pieces of it. Typing in a radius or moving the three defining points later won't come, as layerling is not a parametric CAD.

@structurednewstore-rgb the Arc tool is out in 1.94.0: click both ends, then a point the arc runs through. https://github.com/henmedia/layerling/releases/tag/v1.94.0 – reload the page, or restart the installed app.
