Are you familier with creating new shapes?

Seems to me that creating a shape for this arc would acheive what you
are asking for. (You might need to create 2 versions of the shape, one
vertically oriented and the other horizontal.) Even a tiny shape
object is probably easier to grab than the arcs you have been drawing.
