Pos.	Field	Type/unit	Description
#	type	char	A
1	x	int/mils	Center X coordinate
2	y	int/mils	Center Y coordinate
3	radius	int/mils	Radius of the arc
4	startangle	int/degrees	Starting angle of the arc
5	sweepangle	int/degrees	Amount the arc sweeps
6	color	int	Color index
7	width	int/mils	Width of circle line
8	capstyle	int	Cap style
9	dashstyle	int	Type of dash style
10	dashlength	int/mils	Length of dash
11	dashspace	int/mils	Space inbetween dashes

The startangle can be negative, but not recommended.
The sweepangle can be negative, but not recommended.
The capstyle is an enumerated type:
- END NONE = 0
- END SQUARE = 1
- END ROUND = 2
The dashstyle is an enumerated type:
- TYPE SOLID = 0
- TYPE DOTTED = 1
- TYPE DASHED = 2
- TYPE CENTER = 3
- TYPE PHANTOM = 4
The dashlength parameter is not used for TYPE SOLID and TYPE DOTTED. This parameter should take on a value of -1 in these cases.
The dashspace parameter is not used for TYPE SOLID. This parameter should take on a value of -1 in these case.

Example:

A 30600 75000 2000 0 45 3 0 0 3 75 50

An arc with the center at (30600, 75000) and a radius of 2000 mils, a starting angle of 0, sweeping 45 degrees, color index 3, line width of 0 mils (smallest size), no cap, center line type, dash length of 75 mils, dash spacing of 50 mils.
