Circle > Radius - Point - Point (Draw Menu)

This command draws a circle with a given radius and which runs through two points.

If a circle is to be drawn while working in isometric or dimetric views, this must be done with the command Ellipse > Vector - Vector because the result on the page is not circular but elliptical.

After choosing this command a dialog appears in which the radius of the circle can be entered.

The first point through which the circle should run can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing.

The second point through which the circle should run can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing.

After entering both points, both possible circles are calculated (the graphic shows one possible set of results).

The desired circle can then be chosen with the help of a small dialog. Only one circle can be chosen at a time.

If the two points are further apart than twice the radius, it is not possible to calculate the circle, and an error message appears.

The circle is assigned to the current layer. In addition, it contains a reference to the current pen.
