Hi,
When we draw using the 'Spiral arc Spiral' command between Alignment and Radius, it does not become tangent.
You're welcome!
It appears to be Tangent just not where you are pointing and possible not where you expect but still tangent. You have an Arc - Spiral - Arc -Tang set of geometry lines. Are you specifying the Spiral Length? The specified spiral (Transition Length) would move that Tangent Point.

The values are as shown in the picture.
The clothoid is shifting inward in the area marked in red.
Thank you, have a good day!
The 'Spiral arc Spiral' command will only produce accurate results when connecting two lines.When you connect to a radius you need to use different commands, depending on the situation. When connecting to a line and an arc, use 'Complex Transition between any Element and Arc'. When connecting to two arcs, use 'Arc Between Arcs'
Thanks,
If we select the radius first and then the line, the "Complex Transition Between any Element and Arc" command does not work.
