Circle


Circles are defined by their center and radius.

The example to the left shows the contents of the Graphic Details Drawer when a circle is selected. To view this information use the Show Item Details menu command found on the Tools menu of the Main menu.

To show the information for a Circle item on a drawing, the drawer must be open and the Circle must be selected. The Circle of interest must be the only item selected.

The coordinates for the center of the circle are shown in the numeric text boxes labeled "X" and "Y". The location of the Circle may be checked in this manner or the Circle may be moved by entering a new value for either coordinate.

The radius of the circle is shown in the numeric text box labeled "Length". The radius may be examined in this manner or changed by entering the new value in the text box.

These lengths are shown in the Units (cm, inches, points, ...) defined for the document on the Scale parameter panel. Each coordinate is the distance from the origin which is defined on the Scale panel and may be adjusted by dragging a Ruler.
