Drawing Circles

Drawing Circles

(OP)
In Pro/E  2001 how do you:

1) Create a construction circle in sketcher when intent manager is turned on?

2) Draw a circle on a drawing (2D geometry) that is a specific diameter?

Thanks,
Andy

Andy,
For the construction circle in sketcher:
1. draw a circle
2. pick the circle with the left mouse button (it should highlight red)
3. hit the right mouse button and select TOGGLE CONSTRUCTION

For the circle on a 2d drawing:

1. select SKETCH, CIRCLE
2. pick a point on the screen and begin the circle
3. while you are in drag mode with the circle, right click and select SPECIFY RADIUS

Good luck

JW

RE: Drawing Circles

Construction Circles are useful for controlling geometry.

For instance I use them for creating polygons.
If you create a construction circle and then make 5 lines whose vertices are on the circle you can set equal length constraints and make a pentagon that's easy to modify and rotate if you dont have H or V constraints.

Give it a try!

Michael
