I have just released a plugin to create catenary curves. From Wikipedia: Catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends in a uniform gravitational field. It is essentially a "line object" plugin: click and drag to get the initial couple of end points on the XY plane. Customizable parameters: Independent Z for both ends. Direction [downward (chain) or upward(arch)]. By length or by sag methods: you can establish the length of the chain or the chain lowest (or highest) point. Buttons to extract a 3D polygon or a 2D polygon out of the PIO. More info on my site page: Catenary Curve for Vectorworks®
