Which command is typically used to create curves in AutoCAD?

The command used to create curves in AutoCAD is the ARC command. This command specifically allows the user to draw arcs by defining three primary parameters: the center point, the radius, and the angle of the arc. Arcs are essential for creating curved lines and smooth transitions in designs, making them a fundamental tool in drafting and modeling.

While other commands do exist for creating shapes or lines, such as LINE for straight segments, POLYLINE for a series of connected segments (which can be straight or curved but is primarily linear), and CIRCLE for complete circular shapes, these commands serve different purposes. The LINE command only produces straight lines, while a POLYLINE consists of multiple segments that can include curves but does not inherently dictate a curve in the way the ARC command does. The CIRCLE command, on the other hand, creates a complete circular shape, which is a specific type of curve but not a general arc. Thus, when specifically needing to create an arc, the ARC command is the appropriate choice.
