Description

The Sketcher CreateCircle tool creates a circle by its center and a point along the circle. introduced in version 1.0: Or optionally by three points along the circle.

Usage

See also: Drawing aids.

Pos-OVP = Positional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 1.0
Dim-OVP = Dimensional On-View-Parameters. introduced in version 1.0

  1. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • 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.
  4. Optionally press the M key or select from the dropdown list in the parameters section to change the tool mode:
    • Center:
      1. Pick the center of the circle. Or with Pos-OVP: enter its X and/or Y coordinate.
      2. Pick a point to define the radius of the circle. Or with Dim-OVP: enter this radius.
    • 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.
