: Sketch - Arc Shape? Is it possible to produce an arc shape with given start and sweep angle? (Using Sketch 3.0 by bohemian.coding)

@Alves566

Another way is to draw a circle, double click on it to edit it (there will be 4 little dots equally spread over the circle), and click where you wish to end the shape so you have another small dot appearing there.
Use the scissors to remove any unwanted part, the part to remove will change its shape when you mouse over it.
You can finish you arc shape with different ending such as rounded, this is done in the border section, click on the related COG to show this section.

There is even a better solution :-)
First draw the circle then select the path and click open path in the inspector.

Just updated this: brand new Segmented Circle 2.0 Sketch plugin.

Automatically create precise segmented circular graphics for diagrams, instrumentation and analytics. Huge update adds multi value pie chart styles, tick mark circles and perfectly dashed arcs.

There is now a great sketch plugin for this:

"Create circles as areas or lines with a custom number of points/segments" github.com/design4use/gb-sketch-segmentcircle

Thanks for your response;
your solution is a considerable alternative to the one i've figured out. (subtract>scissors>rotate)







(Note: By half covering the circle by the rect you can also create an 180 deg circle.)

You could fake it by using the Layer > Vector > Rotate Copies. Simply choose a rectangle shape and then create any number of copies. The more copies you create, the smoother the arc will be.

You can also create Two Circles, subtract them, and then subtract a rectangle in half:


Finally, you could draw it with the pen tool (though you'd lose some accuracy in the process.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to adjust the angle or the sweep. But if you manipulate shapes on top of shapes and use the Pathfinder or Transform tools, you should be able to achieve your desired effect.
