Hello, I have been using Autocad for less than 2 weeks - coming from using Microstation for 5 years. We had a macro in Microstation to help draw 2 and 3 centered curves. Does anyone have a similar macro for Autocad? Is there an easy way to do this using Autodesk? Please remember that I am Autocad illiterate.

Thanks

I'm not aware of any macro for 3-center curves, but they're simple enough to draw. First draw a full circle for the center arc, then draw the tranxitions using the arc command and and tangent object snaps, then trim the circle to the arcs.
