Tang, PC, Radius, Arc Length

This command draws a curve from a perpendicular tangent line with a known radius and arc length. It prompts for the radius, the arc length and then to pick the P.C. start point of the curve (endpoint of previously drawn tangent line) and a point along the tangent line.
