extrude around arc

extrude around arc

(OP)
Suppose you had an arc segment and wanted to extrude a pipe around the arc.  The ends of the arc segment are not perpendicular to the x or y axes.  How would you set up the UCS so it is perpendicular to the end of the arc so you can draw your pipe profile around it?

RE: extrude around arc

Use the UCS-"ZAis" option, then "OBject" then select object at end to begin extrude. Set "Plan" to UCS; draw circle in this UCS to extrude, then start the extrude command.

RE: extrude around arc

Or the Revolve command.  Many ways, same result.
