KeyCreator / Create / Circle / Center and Tangent to Entity
Use this feature to create a circle tangent to a selected entity with its center at an indicated position. When creating circles of this type, keep the following in mind:
-
In 2D construction mode, the circle is created in the construction view, at the depth that was active when you indicated the center.
-
In 3D construction mode, the circle is created in the plane of the selected entity and the indicated position.
Using the Function:
-
Select Center/Tangent from the Create>Circle submenu.
-
Select the tangent entity, near the point of tangency.
-
Indicate a center position for the circle.
NOTE: When a tangent circle cannot be created, an error message appears. When this occurs, you will need to select a different center position.
