Hi Michael and all ...

Now I do feel a little ignorant. I do so much architectural work ... mostly straight lines of one kind or another so I have not really explored arc's much at all ... mostly using fillet when I need to.

Now I see, thanks to your questions and suggestions, that indeed I can do what I am asking for already. I just happen to be doing some fairly large land development work in preliminary stages at the moment and wanted to be freer with walk and road layouts but not as loose as freeform lines. I took your suggestion and now can toggle between lines and continuingarcs very freely.

Thank you ... these do not have to be built in some sort of complex command series ... the hot key system works great.

cheers,
eric

Hi eric, I'm glad that setting up the 2 shortcut keys with ArcContinue is close to what you were looking for!

I do want to streamline this process of chaining together different draw tools some more in the future as well. In v4 I hope to spend at least some time on curve tools.
