    There are a couple of ways. One is to draw an arc with a polyline, and then apply the wall tool to the polyline.

    The other is to place the wall directly in the file as though it were a polyline arc.

    Thank you for your answer. But, how can i apply the wall tool to a polyline?
    Somehow i understand that i have to use the 'Arc' sub-command from the command line after i choose to draw the wall. But it seems that i can't get the END POINT of the arc so i just "play" with the wall to get it in the right place.

    Right click the wall tool. Then select "apply tool properties to", then "linework".

    You can change the wall type afterwards.

    You should find that if you select an object and right click or right click on a tool, you should see all the options available. There's many commands that you'll never find unless you get in the habit of right click to look for the options first.

    I understand that, but I've never expect a right click on an item in a dialog box! (Right click on wall icon)

    Dialog box, you mean Tool Pallet correct?
    We haven't had a dialog box for walls since ADT3.3.
    Right clicking on a tool (in a pallet) will get you lots of options.
    I still think the best right click option was the "More" selection in the orbit command.
