    Hi @Vzixae

     It would help if you shared an Onshape document that you are working on or pictures of what you are trying to achieve.

    If you mean you want the arc to be exactly a quarter of a circle, you can just constrain the endpoints to be horizontal/vertical to the center point.

    If you need a quarter circle that is not aligned with horizontal or vertical you can use construction lines that are set to perpendicular and meet at the center point to make it 90 degrees as well. Though most cases fall into horizontal / vertical.

    I think you need to use the Tangent command in sketch mode.

    I always think it's funny when someone posts an exceptionally vague question and everyone on the forum goes through the exercise of trying to read their mind  :D

    In very similar manner, I’ve thought of it as being kind of like one of these game shows you see on TV

    Were you try and guess what the person is trying to convey, with that OP saying as little as possible

    And like you say @mahir , a number of us just jump right in whole-hog

    It is funny
