3 point arc in sketcher preselects a point

I have been running into this issue where when I select a point at the end of a line while doing a 3 point arc it does the following behaviour. It should be a pretty easy fix however I have no idea how to prevent it.

If the behavior you are referring to is to make it tangent, you can move the mouse back to the start point, pause, then move perpendicular to the existing line to prevent automatic tangency.  The same movement also works when first starting the arc.

    Thanks a lot this works perfectly and yes the behaviour I was mentioning is making it tangent, interesting I didn't realise that was what I was happening, I should pay more attention to the constraint symbols.

    Hi,

    I do not understand the problem. Please describe it once again.

    Are you working in Sketcher environment?

    I was able to find this thread as well explaining what kdirth described in a bit more detail in case anyone else was curious as well.
