While in Select mode
, you can move a circle/arc
in any direction. The diameter of the circle/arc remains unchanged provided
there are no constraints on the circle/arc. (To modify the diameter of
the circle/arc, you can resize
the circle/arc.)
Note: You can also use the Move
function
to do this.
To move a circle, arc or ellipse:
Click the Select
option
from the Sketcher
toolbar. Or press exit
until you are in Select mode.
The cursor changes to a black pointer
.
Click on the center point of the circle/arc/ellipse, and hold.
The center point changes from blue to bright green.

![]()
Drag the circle to its required position.

Release the mouse button to place the entity.
All constraints with other entities remain. For example, if you are moving a circle that is tangent to a line, both entities will move to maintain the constraint.
Tip: You can break a circle/arc's constraints with all other entities by double-clicking at step 2, instead of clicking.
