Drawing a Circle

To add a circle to a schematic.

1. Click Draw > Primitive > Circle or click the Circle icon under Graphics on the Schematic ribbon.

This enables the circle drawing mode.

2. Move the cursor to the desired location in the schematic and left click to specify the center point of the circle.
3. Move the cursor to the desired location for the diameter of the circle and left-click.

This dynamically draws the circle and shows the arc selected, with the drag handles on the end points and midpoint of the arc highlighted. If necessary, you can select a handle on the circle to change the diameter. Notice that the element includes a Properties window.

The circle includes a Properties window in which you can edit the circle’s properties, including: fill color, border width, border color, fill style, center coordinates, and radius.

4. Click anywhere on the schematic off the circle to deselect it.
