Tangent arcs to edges equals difficult time for me

ok, so its finding that right line segment that will create the radii close enough to what i need

@endlessfix

So, this trick will work in that instance as long as the arc radius you are entering is close enough to where you started to stay on the same facet of the circle. Check the VCB to see what the arc is, pick something close.

Yes. This is quickly done with a couple of test arcs and observing the VCB to get a number close to the desired radius.

I think part of your problem may be that you have enable length snapping checked, and set to 1m. This is known to introduce errors and is best left off at all times. At first glance to many it may appear like this creates an invisible grid that will keep your model square but it does not work like this and in fact can often cause snapping that is out of alignment.

Go to Model Info>Units and turn length snapping off.

Honestly, this feature is so commonly misunderstood and is the source of much frustration. I often think it should be removed, or at very least made off by default. Length snapping controls the length of lines (and objects). If you have it set to 1’ increments (I’m using a big number to illustrate a point) then you will only be able to make lines that are in multiples of 1’. So you can draw a 1’ or 2’ or 30’ line, but not a 2’8" line. It does not set up an invisible 1’ grid of snapping, …

Enable Length Snapping... Why?

For the life of me I can’t understand why this feature (certainly in it’s current state) exists. Can anyone, user or developer explain to me a use case that is beneficial. All I see is a feature that appears to be set to On as the default that causes inaccuracy in geometry that wouldn’t occur if it was turned off. If there is a use case that I am unaware of I would still suggest it be Off by default and come with a warning when attempting to turn it on. Edit: I would appreciate @colin if you…
