    • Press the Center and rim point button.
    • Select the Sketcher → Sketcher geometries → Create circle by center option from the menu.
    • Right-click in the 3D view and select the Create circle by center option from the context menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: G then C.
  2. The cursor changes to a cross with the current tool mode icon.
  3. The Circle parameters section (introduced in version 1.0) is added at the top of the Sketcher Dialog.

    • 3 rim points: introduced in version 1.0
      1. Pick three points to define the circle. Or with Pos-OVP: enter their X and/or Y coordinates. No constraints are created for these points.
  5. The circle is created and applicable Pos-OVP and Dim-OVP based constraints are added.
  6. If the tool runs in continue mode:
    1. Optionally keep creating circles.
    2. To finish, right-click or press Esc, or start another geometry or constraint creation tool.
