Circle (2D)Use this command to create circles using a variety of methods including boundary, radius, through, 2 point radius and 2 points.  The options will vary for each method.  refer to each method below.

 

Create Circle (Center, Boundary) Circle (2D), Boundary Method

 

Circle (Center, Boundary) - Sketch/Drawing Sheet LevelUse this method to create a circle by defining its center and a boundary point. Concentric circles can be created by selecting additional boundary points.

 

  1. Select the center point.

  2. Select the boundary point.

  3. Select additional boundary points for concentric circles or middle-click to cancel.

 

 

Create Circle (Radius/Diameter, Center) Circle (2D), Radius Method

 

Create Circle (Radius/Diameter, Center) - Sketch / SheetUse this method to create a circle by entering a radius and selecting a center point. You can create circles of the same radius in multiple locations by selecting additional center points.

 

  1. Select the center point.  You can then continue to select center points to create additional circles.

  2. Specify the radii of all circles or select a boundary point.

 

 

icon104.gif Circle (2D), Through Method

 

Use this method to create a circle by selecting 3 boundary points. Select the first and second points and then the trough point.

Create Circle (2 Points, Radius) Circle (2D), 2 Point Radius Method

 

Use this method to create a circle by selecting 2 boundary points and entering a radius. You can then select from the two possible circles.

icon101.gif Circle (2D), 2 Point Method

 

4778.gifUse this method to create a circle by selecting 2 boundary points. At the Part Level an additional point is used to define the plane on which the circle resides.

 

  1. Select the first boundary point.

    The radius of the circle is dynamically echoed as the second boundary point is located.
     

  2. Select the second boundary point.
