z Sweep Angle - Specifies (in degrees) the angle through which the arc is drawn. A positive angle draws an angle in the positive direction (angle of rotation); a negative angle draws the angle in the negative direction. z Chord Angle - Specifies the chord angle used to draw the arc. The default is a chord angle of 5 degrees. Refer to the Arc Absolute (AA) command discussion (earlier this chapter) for information on setting and determining the chord angle.
