Creating and modifying circular arcs while maintaining arc qualities within a digital design document

Abstract

The disclosed systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media provide a digital design interface for creating and modifying circular arc segments as drawing elements within an arc path segment in a cohesive and visually consistent manner. In particular, the disclosed systems generate a circular arc segment comprising a first endnode and a second endnode, wherein the second endnode of the circular arc segment is connected to a design segment comprising the second endnode and a third endnode. In addition, the disclosed systems determine a first continuity setting for the first endnode, a second continuity setting for the second endnode, and a third continuity setting for the third endnode. Moreover, in response to a user interaction, the disclosed systems generate a modified circular arc segment and a modified design segment according to the first continuity setting, the second continuity setting, and the third continuity setting.
