More about Creating Circles

In this task, we used the Sketch Tools toolbar but you can create this circle manually.

To create circle manually, move the cursor to activate Using SmartPick and click as soon as you get what you wish.

Once you have created a circle, you can change its radius.

To change radius of the circle, you can:

• If the offset constraint corresponding to the radius exists: Double-click the offset constraint and modify the radius value in the Constraint Definition dialog box that appears.
• Or double-click the circle and modify the radius value in the Circle Definition dialog box that appears.
• Or alternatively, drag the circle until you are satisfied with its new radius.

By default, circle centers are visible in the geometry.

In case you create circles by clicking, if you do not want to see the centers you can specify this in the Options dialog box. For this, select Tools > Options> Mechanical Design > Sketcher option (Sketcher tab). For more information, see the Infrastructure user's guide.
