Circles
The menus and toolbars in AutoCAD LT 2000 are designed to allow the CAD operators
to quickly activate the desired commands. Besides using the Draw toolbar, we can also
select the different Draw commands through the pull-down menus.
1. In the pull-down menus, select:
[Draw] => [Circle] => [Center, Diameter]
Notice the different options available under the circle submenu:
Center Point: Draws a circle based on a center point and a diameter or a radius.
3 Points: Draws a circle based on three points on the circumference.
2 Points: Draws a circle based on two endpoints of the diameter.
TTR—Tangent, Tangent, Radius: Draws a circle with a specified radius tangent
to two objects.
TTT—Tangent, Tangent, Tangent: Draws a circle tangent to three objects.
