  1. Anyone have an arc command that works in 3d?

    Not sure I understand. There's no such thing as a 3d arc. Just change your
    UCS to the plane you want the arc on.

    Too bad. That's about the only way to do it.

  5. Then you didn't set the plane correctly, as Paul pointed out. An arc, in the
    arc's plane, is always 2D. The trick lies in making the arc in the plane you
    need given your desired endpoints.
