Use this command to create a circle by defining
its center and a boundary point. Concentric circles can be created by
selecting additional boundary points. For 3D circles, an additional point
is used to locate the plane of the circle.
Select the center point.
Select a point to define the plane of the circle.
Select the boundary point or enter a radius/diameter depending on the current mode of the Rad/Dia option (see below).
Select additional boundary points for more circles. If the Project Boundary Points option (see Optional Inputs below) is checked, the circles will be concentric.
Middle-click or pick OK
to end the command.
Rad/Dia
Use this option to indicate the type of input desired during circle and arc commands.
Radius - The value entered will be the radius.
Diameter
- The value entered will be the diameter.
Project Boundary Points
For 3D circles, if a successive boundary point is selected and this option is checked, the point is projected onto the locating plane defined by the first three points.
