Part Circle

Description
This command will create a circular curved edge. With the default values, the circular curved edge will be closed and therefore will be a circle. If the properties Angle 0 or Angle 1 are changed from their default values (0 and 360) the edge will be an open curve, an arc.

Alternatively a Part Circle can be initially defined from three points. Once created the circle will only contain the standard Part Circle properties and will no longer contain a reference to the creation points.

Usage
A Circle geometric primitive is available from the Create Primitives dialogue in the Part workbench.
 * 1) Switch to the [[Image:Workbench_Part.svg|24px]] Part
 * 2) There are several ways to access the Create Primitives dialogue:
 * 3) * Press the [[Image:Part_Primitives.svg|24px]] Primitives button located in the Part toolbar
 * 4) * Use the

A Part Circle object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

 * : The radius of the curved edge (arc or circle)
 * }: Start of the curved edge, (degrees anti-clockwise), the default value is 0
 * }: End of the curved edge, (degrees anti-clockwise), the default value is 360

Scripting
A Part Circle can be created with the following function:


 * Where is the name for the object.
 * The function returns the newly created object.

The name of the object can be easily changed by

You can access and modify attributes of the object. For example, you may wish to modify the radius, angle 0 and angle 1 parameters.

The result will be a 45 degree rotated semicircle with a radius of 10.

You can change its placement and orientation with:
