[Resolved] How do I edit properties of an arc?

How do I edit the properties of an arc? I would like to set the center, and radius, but can't find how. Eagle shows them to me as read only values when I click properties.

Thanks.

You cannot edt the those properties.
In Eagle the arc is a WIRE with curve and so you can draw arcs using WIRE
and give the curved wire a radius.
See HELP WIRE.

What I often do is lay down a circle as a guide to create the desired arc,
then remove the circle

Then I'd have to ask, what's the point of having an arc. The PCB layout software I acquired in 1992 allowed me to set the center of the arc, the start degrees and end degrees. If I want to make a number of large loops around the outside of a pcb, this sort of setup is ideal. It looks like the arc in Eagle is pretty useless if I have to use a trace instead every time. Why do they provide such information in the properties if they can't be adjusted?
