I seem to be having trouble manipulating the arc detail line. After the arc is drawn, I cannot move just one of the endpoints, it moves the arc down the same curviture but not left or right, or it moves the entire arc at once. Is there a way to just move one end of the arc without moving the center or the other end.

Thank you

Don't use the move command.  Click on the arc, then pull around the blue dot at the end.

I don't use the move command, I highlight the arc and grab the point at the end, but it just allows me to move along the radius of the arc, but not anywhere else without moving the entire arc. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I don't understand.  It is an arc!  Either uou move the arc or stretch it aroud according to its radius.  What else would you expect?

I'm looking for a way to stretch the arc, even if after streching the arc it isn't really an arc anymore, as long as it it still joined with the device on the other end.

No, but on Ribbon uncheck "Keep Concentric" then you can grab the middle point of arc and move ONLY that point.

That's a bit tougher than how autocad does it but that works. Thanks for the help
