Options

The following options are available to create your circle.

:CEN_RAD - specifies a center point and a radius either directly, or using a peripheral point at the required distance from the center point. You must define a new center point for each circle you create.
:CONCENTRIC - specifies a circular element to be concentric to. You can define a positive or negative offset.
:RADIUS - creates circles of a specific radius, at a series of center positions.
:CENTER - creates circles of defined diameters around a specific center point.
:TAN_CEN - specifies the center of the circle, its radius, and an element to be tangent to.
:TAN_PT_PT - specifies two elements to be tangent to, and either the radius or a peripheral point. If either or both of your elements are B-splines, you can only enter a radius.
:TAN2_PT - specifies 2 positions the circle must pass through, its radius, and an element to be tangent.
:TAN3 - specifies three elements the circle must be tangent to.
:3_POS - specifies three peripheral points through which the circle must pass.
:DIAMETER - specifies two peripheral points which must lie on the diameter of the circle.
:CEN_DIA - specifies the center point and the diameter for the circle.
:2_POS_RAD - specifies the radius for the circle and two points which must lie on the diameter of the circle.

When to use

Use this action to create circles anywhere on the active workplane.

Example

Enter CIRCLE and specify the creation method, location of the center, and the size of the circle as follows:

CIRCLE :CEN_RAD 100,100 50
