Arcs–Contain three shape points. When you click any of the points, a text box
displays the angle or bearing of the selected point, the radius of the arc, and the
total length of the arc line on the map.
Only the first and second points you placed on the map when creating the arc are
treated as start and end points (i.e., show red or green when clicked). The central
magenta shape point, or third point you placed, determines the shape of the arc.

• Points in Point Draw Objects
Point objects, such as waypoints, symbols, and text, do not have shape or end
points. Text label objects contain a point at the bottom center of the text label box
and are only visible during a snap.
• Points in MapNotes
MapNotes do not have shape or end points. They contain an anchor point at the end
of the text box. Clicking the MapNote displays a central crosshair at the anchor point.
