Construction Mode

Creates a reference circle that does not contribute to closed profiles.

Result

Apply creates one editable circle that forms a closed profile when not construction geometry.

Editing

Edit its Radius or Diameter, move its center, or apply Concentric, Tangent, Equal, and Fix constraints.

Troubleshooting

The circle is offset from the intended center.

Set Draw Anchor to Center before placement or move and constrain the center afterward.
