When you say 'arc', do you just mean a curve? Or are you specifically talking about a portion of a circle?

Hi, thanks for your reply! I suppose I mean just a curve. Ideally the curve created would maintain the same length as the original line.

Here is a simple script which create four points and use nurbs curve. The first and last are on X axes. Second and third are used to bend the nurbs curve. As Curve has not the same length  there is a scale to have always the same scale. 

Just play with cursor (an angle in degree).

Thanks Daniel!  Your definition just solved something I've been working on for days.
