Circle Tool

The Circle Tool adds circles and ellipses to Plans. Circles drawn will not add quantities to Measurements. If quantities are required, please use the Length in Curve Mode and / or Area in Curve Mode. Relocate the annotation bar by click, holding and dragging.

Depending on the screen size, the location of buttons and functionality may be different from that in this article.
