Creating Circles Using Coordinates

This task shows how to create a circle using center point coordinates. In this particular case, we will use cartesian coordinates. Still, you can also use polar coordinates.
By default, circle centers appear on the sketch. In case you create circles by clicking, if you do not need them, you can specify this as indicated in the Customizing section of this User's Guide.

  1. Click Circle Using Coordinates .
    The Circle Definition dialog box appears. The default point coordinates that appear in the Circle Definition dialog box are the origin axis coordinates. The default circle radius is 10mm.

If, before clicking Circle Using Coordinates , you select an existing point, this point will be used as a reference point and the coordinates of the center point will be set from this point.

  1. Type in the Circle Definition dialog box for the circle center point: H=25mm, V=30mm and Radius=14mm

  1. Click OK.
    The circle and its center point are created.
