Hey forum

I know I can use a tool to create a half or quarter circle.
But I will learn in which way I can it do with Bezier tool.
Maybe I'm stupid but I dont understand the workflow with Bezier.
Sometimes red lines on start or end of line comes sometimes not.
I make mistakes ?
Is somewhere a SIMPLE step by step lesson to learn it.

You can't easily make a circular arc with Bezier curves.

If you want the Bezier handles at the start, just click and drag and the handle will appear. If you want to access the handle at a point where it's hidden, cmd-click and the red handle should appear.

Easiest method I've found so far is to use the straight line type with a midpoint and very large corner radius set in the Lines and Shape Inspector.

Thanks Chris&Joel

@Joel
Mabay I make a mistake.
I have an empty sheet.
Ruler = pixel.
Grid matrix = 100 px.
subdivision = 10 px.

I create a line with point in the middle.
The lenght is 200 px.
I move the middle point some pixel.
I change the midpoint in inspector with the arrow from 0 to 50 pt by corner radius.
I use this in the top of inspector labeld stil > lines and form.
50 pt the maximum ????
I cannot change this to 200 ?

The steppers only go to 50, but you can key into the input field and put very large values there (I typically use 500).

Hope that helps,
