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

Method

This command has 4 methods to begin creating a donut:

  • Inside diameter of a donut
  • 2 Point
  • 3 Point
  • Tangent Tangent Radius

Options within the command

Inside diameter of donut
Allows you to begin creating a donut by specifying its inside diameter.
Outside diameter of donut
Specifies the outside diameter of the donut.
Center of donut
Specifies the center of the donut to place it in the drawing.

You can continue placing donuts of the same size until you press Enter key to end the command.

2 Point
Allows you to begin creating a donut by specifying its width.
First point on diameter
Specifies 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
Allows you to begin creating a donut by specifying its width.
First point on donut
Specifies a point on the circumference of an imaginary circle that runs through the center of its width.
Second point
Specifies the second point on the circumference of the imaginary circle.
Third point
Specifies the third point on the circumference of the imaginary circle.
  1. Point 1
  2. Point 2
  3. Point 3
  4. Width
Tangent Tangent Radius
Allows you to begin creating a donut by selecting a tangent point on the first entity.
Specify point on object for second tangent on donut
Allows you to select a tangent point on the second entity.
Width of donut
Specifies the width of the donut.
Diameter of donut
Allows you to 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
