Circle > Concentric (Draw Menu)

This command draws a circle concentric with another circle or circle part.

If a circle is to be drawn while working in isometric or dimetric views, this must be done with the command Ellipse > Vector - Vector because the result on the page is not circular but elliptical.

Any circle which exists independently or as part of another object can be identified as the reference object. This can also be the arc of a circle segment or a circle arc within a surface.

After identifying the reference line, further points can be entered. Each point defines a concentric circle which runs though this point. This point can be entered with the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

Once all desired circles have been entered (at least one), press the right mouse button to finish the command. If the Workflow Manager is active and appears, choose Finish Command in it.

Up to 1000 concentric circles can be entered in one procedure. If this limit is reached, then no further entries are accepted.

Point entry can be undone, step by step, using the command Previous Point (ESC) or the ESC key. This means that incorrect entries can easily be corrected, without having to redo all of the previously entered concentric circles.
