How would you approach this?

Two approaches:



  1. Draw them as 3 arcs (basically quarter circles) and slightly round the corners.

  2. If you have SF Pro font installed, just copy/paste the wifi symbol from SF Symbols app and convert from outline.


Option 2 would be my choice because it would get you an exact match to the symbol.


This is how far 3 arcs got me 😬

Oh, I sympathize, @Daniel37! Drawing tasks like this can be counterintuitive.


Here’s the basic approach:



  • You need three ellipses: one small, one medium and one large sized

  • Align the ellipses at their H&V centers (i.e., make them concentric; you may need to turn off Snap to Pixel Grid for this)

  • Apply the same Start ° and Sweep % of the arc for all ellipses

  • Adjust the Ratio % of the arc separately for each ellipse to produce the different arc shapes

  • Apply the same corner radius px # to all three ellipses


Here’s a quick example to show where the settings are:


Option: Instead of the Arc Start°, you can set the object rotation (no idea if either has advantages)
