Hi Sven,
re:
> Curious if I should be able to create an arc on surface ?
Using which command, do you mean with Draw curve > Arc > Center?
The arc center point draw command is focused on drawing an arc on a plane. If you pick the arc center point on a surface it will use a drawing plane with the plane origin on that point and a z axis along the surface normal.
So the arc will be on a plane something like this:
That tool does not know how to draw the entire arc on a surface because that is only possible in special cases.
But I think arc through 3 points will do it if you put the 3 points all on the sphere surface.

Thanks for center arc explanation because it now makes sense based on what was happening. With the addition of 3rd "on" point on the surface the 3 pts arc works.
