Methods
There are 8 different methods to create circle entities:
Circle Center-Radius
-
Circle Center-Diameter
-
Circle 2-points
-
Circle 3-point
-
Circle Tangent-Tangent-Radius
-
Circle Tangent-Tangent-Tangent
-
Convert Arc to Circle
-
Multiple circles
Options within the CIRCLE command
- Select center of circle
- Allows you to specify the center of the circle (1).
- Set Radius
- Allows you to specify the radius of the circle (2).
- Set Diameter
- Allows you to specify the diameter of the circle (3).

- 2 Point
- Allows you to specify 2 diametrically opposite points (1 and 2) to define the circle.
- 3 Point
- Allows you to specify 3 points to define the circle.
- Tangent-Tangent-Radius
- Defines the circle by two tangent points to other entities (1 and 2) and its radius (3). When you specify a radius that is not possible with the selected tangents, you are prompted to specify the second tangent and the radius again.
- Tangent-Tangent-Tangent
- Defines the circle by three tangent points to other entities (1, 2, and 3).
- turn Arc into circle
- Converts an arc entity into a circle by extending it to 360 degrees.
- Multiple circles
- Creates multiple circles with the same size using one of the listed methods above. Press Enter to end the command.
