Description

Constructs a CircularArc given the From Point, the Bearing Angle, the desired orientation, the desired Radius, the desired Chord Distance, and the IsMinor orientation. The Bearing Angle is measured in radians. The Chord Distance must be less than twice the Radius, otherwise an error is returned.

Remarks

-isCCW stands for "is counter clockwise"

  //The angles should be in Radians (Radians = Degrees * PI/180)
  constructCircularArc.ConstructBearingRadiusChord(fromPoint, 0, true, 40, 40, true);
