- [Narrator] Creating circles and sketches is
a pretty straight forward process
and doesn't really take too much skill.
I'm going to go ahead and start a new sketch
on the front plane and go up to my circle features here.
Now from the drop down we can see we only really
have two feature types available,
the regular circle or the perimeter circle.
I'm going to start by selecting regular circle.
You can see as I go down here into the property tab
you still have the same selection options
to change it to a perimeter circle or a regular circle.
You can also see, like other features, it gives you
what the steps are when you create it.
So for the regular circle first
I'm going to select the midpoint and then
the radius of the circle.
So I'm selecting the midpoint, dragging out in to space.
You can see on the right where my pointer is
that it gives me a reading of what
my radius is as I drag it out.
And I can go ahead and select the second point
and that's defined.
If I wanted to make a perimeter circle instead
I select three points that make
the outside perimeter of the circle.
I'm going to do that one more time.
First point, second point and third point
to define that circle.
I'm going to hit escape.
You'll notice now that they're created
they actually all look identical.
You can't tell the difference between
the circles or how they were defined.
So you can see here that they all have the same
options in the property tab manager.
You can change them to construction.
You can fix them, add various relations,
click the centers, drag them around,
or click the outside and drag them to resize.
You can also add dimensions as well
and define them that way if you like.
So there's not a whole lot of options
when it comes to creating circles.
But again, you go up here and there's
the regular circle and the perimeter circle.
And then when you click on them you
can manually adjust the center point location,
the radius, or toggle them between construction
and non-construction geometry.
