Am I missing something- "switch to arc
Why right click? Left click, create line, left click, move cursor away from endpoint then bring it back over and the it'll change from the line tool to the arc tool. Ok, that sounds a lot more complicated than it is.
To answer your question though, simply move the cursor back over the endpoint and pull away in the direction you need. That should take care of it.-

Thank, you. that tip will make me faster. You can get so used to certain key strokes it is hard to break out of. I had never actually realized it would switch between line and arc in that way.-

You can also use "A" to toggle between line to arc and back to line.-
Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
Old topic, but why does the A key not work for me to toggle between a line and an arc? Is there a setting I don't know about?

Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
Check your Keyboard shortcuts to see if the A key has been assigned to another function.
I have mine set to Appearance

Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
It is set to "Others-Command option toggle". Is that correct?-
Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
This is correct setting. Do a thing. Assign a different key to this "Others-Command option toggle" and check if that works. -

Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
It appears to be. I just reset mine to that toggle and it works.
It will only work before you move the cursor from the end of a line or circle. If you move the cursor before using the A key, the next command will have been activated.
Line tool > click > move > click > A key > gives radius from end of line.
Line tool > click > move > click > A key > gives radius from end of line > A key > gives another radius.
Line tool > click > move > click > move > gives another line. The A key will have no effect till end of line is clicked.

Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
So there is no way to toggle back to a line from an arc without reselecting the line tool?

Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
My system automatically reverts to the Line tool after creating a rad.
Line > A key > radius > line

Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
Oh..thanks for explaining that. It does work, I just thought it didn't. I didn't know you couldn't move the cursor before hitting A for it to work.
Thanks!

Re: Am I missing something- "switch to arc
"A" should work to toggle back AND forth between lines and arcs. I rationalize the keyboard character in that it "alternates" the sketch mode between lines and arcs.

Autodimension has created a minor issue using keyboard in the line command.
