Drawing a Circle

Use the Circle object tool to draw a circle in one of two ways:

• Centre-to-edge, with one vertex at the centre of the circle and a second on the circumference
• Edge-to-edge, with two vertices at opposite points on the circumference

To draw a circle from edge-to-edge:

1. In the Graphics menu, click Add.
2. Select the Circle tool in the Object Tools window.
3. Position the cursor at the centre of the circle and press to anchor that point on the image. Do not release the cursor.
4. Drag the cursor to establish the radius of the circle. You can continue to adjust the size of the circle as long as you press down on the cursor.
5. Release the cursor to anchor the second vertex.

   The circle is drawn on the image.

To draw a circle from centre-to-edge:

1. In the Graphics menu, click Add and then select the Circle tool.
2. Press and hold Alt.
3. Drag the cursor to establish the radius of the circle.

   When the circle is the required size, release the cursor.
