Drawing a 2 or 3 centered curve in Autocad

Drawing a 2 or 3 centered curve in Autocad

(OP)
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

RE: Drawing a 2 or 3 centered curve in Autocad

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.
