Draw > Circle > Center, Point

Post by peasthope » Sun May 29, 2011 9:01 pm

Hello,

In QCad Version 2.0.5.0-Free-1 [Community Edition] running in up-to-date Debian Squeeze, select Draw > Circle > Center, Point. The Center appears to be accepted. Then the command displayed is Radius. It should be Point. Why is "Radius" displayed when "Point" should be? If I attempt to snap to a point, no circle is drawn.

Is this a bug? Can a circle be specified by center and point? If so, how?

Thanks, ... Peter E.

Hi Cristoperobin and welcome

Not sure about CE version but in the pro versions:

Qcad 2.2 – shortcut command = CI
Specify center > specify radius

Qcad 3rc5 – shortcut command = CI
Center > point on circle or radius
