Using microstation connect ss10?, I have the radius, length, and delta for an arc, how do I draw a second arc with radius, length, and delta which Is tangent to the first?

This is all of the data that I was supplied for each arc,

1st arc - delta = 04^31'28"

               radius = 1366.00'

               length = 107.87'

2nd arc - delta = 02^45'24"

                radius = 1589.52'

                length = 76.47'

                

2nd arc need to be tangent to first

  • I used start and center and  filled in the radius and length and direction , but used the tangent snap for each arc, note I needed as start point,   like a horizontal line  east west, and also FYI the sweep angle  and is also your delta,

    delta is the IP angle between the tangents of start and finish which always works out as the sweep angle, so its a good check on the arc length is correct, the start angle  in the dialog is also the bearing in angle  see my screen shot.. I included my dgn for you too
