Is there a quick way to draw circle segments in ArtWorks? The method
I use is a bit clumsy and uses the straight line tool, the curve
tool, and then messes about with the handles.

Here's the no-handles method for a segment within ArtWorks; sectors can
be done similarly but are a tad more complicated:

1. Draw a circle. Use the resize tool to make sure it is circular with
both axes the same size.

You already know this but for those who don't

<ctrl><drag> draws a circle with the ellipse tool
