Sketching a Three-Point Circle in Sheet Metal

  1. Select the Sheet Metal tab.
  2. Click Three-Point Circle in the Sketch group.
  3. (Optional) Select Three-point circle segment in the Options panel to create an arc that is a segment of a three-point circle.
  4. (Optional) Click the Profile option if you want to create walls as you sketch.
  5. Click to set the first point on the circle's edge.
    If you click a curve or line, the circle will be drawn tangent to the curve or line, unless you click the midpoint or vertex.
    You can dimension the points relative to other sketch objects.
  6. Click to set the second point on the circle's edge.
    If the circle disappears as you move your mouse over the sketch grid, then the cursor location cannot be included in any circle drawn through the first two points and the current point. If you click a curve or line, the circle will be drawn tangent to the curve or line unless you click the midpoint or vertex.
  7. Click to set the last point on the circle's edge.
