Hi TIG. I installed TrueTangents via latest SketchUcation Plugin Store. It works, but why are the tool-tips displayed in the Ruby console and not in the status bar?
Latest SU Pro, Win 7 64 bit latest.
Thanks.

This toolset was originally designed to run from the Ruby Console, or from within other methods - so the tools' guidance/errors go into the Ruby Console, rather than the status-bar or an error message-box...
It's the same in all SketchUp versions - it's not v2014 specific.

Is it possible to draw an arc tangent to two others?
Thank you very much - 
Do you mean a common-tangent to three arcs ?
It will be possible in some 'special' cases, but then you can contrive three arcs which can never all share a common-tangent...
Please give a clear example...
Or explain your question more clearly... - 
I mean to draw an arc tangent to two circles.
Like in the image.

In the previous drawing the circles O1 and O2 are known

Sorry, very grateful for your attention!

It would also be interesting if it allows solving situations like this:
