[Solved] Drawing a circle - having difficulties

Post by Romini » Wed Jan 15, 2020 10:58 pm

When drawing a circle using the "2 Tangents and Radius" function, the default radius is 1.00". I cannot figure out how to change this, unless I change the radius AFTER the circle is drawn, in which case the circle goes beyond the tangent points I selected. Does anyone know how to change the radius of the circle before selecting the 2 tangent points?

When you launch the tool an option bar will pop up with the possibility to change the radius:

Note: If the option bar doesn't pop's up please make sure it is activated below: Menu/View/Toolbars and Widgets/Toolbars/Options
