  1. Center
  2. Inside diameter
  3. Diameter
  4. Outside diameter
  5. Width

Methods to create a donut

This command has 4 methods to begin creating a donut:

  • Inside diameter of a donut
  • 2 Point
  • 3 Point
  • Tangent Tangent Radius
Inside diameter of donut
Begin creating a donut by specifying its inside diameter then:
Outside diameter of donut
Specify the outside diameter of the donut.
Center of donut
Specify the center of the donut to place it in the drawing. You can continue placing donuts of the same size until you press Enter to end the command.
2 Point
Begin creating a donut by specifying its width then:
First point on diameter
Specify a point on the diameter.
Second point on diameter
Specify the second point on the diameter.
  1. Point 1
  2. Point 2
  3. Diameter
  4. Width
3 Point
Begin creating a donut by specifying its width then:
First point on donut
Specify a point on the circumference of an imaginary circle that runs through the center of its width.
Second point
Specify the second point on the circumference of the imaginary circle.
Third point
Specify the third point on the circumference of the imaginary circle.
  1. Point 1
  2. Point 2
  3. Point 3
  4. Width
Tangent Tangent Radius
Begin creating a donut by selecting a tangent point on the first entity then:
Specify point on object for second tangent on donut
Select a tangent point on the second entity.
Width of donut
Specify the width of the donut.
Diameter of donut
Specify a valid diameter for the donut. If you specify a diameter that is not possible with the selected tangents, you are prompted to specify the tangents and diameter again.
  1. Tangent point 1
  2. Tangent point 2
  3. Diameter
  4. Width
