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

RE: Drawing Circles
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

RE: Drawing Circles
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!
