- CTR-ENT allows you to create a circle tangent to a
- selected entity, with its center at an indicated position.
-
- Select the desired tangent entity, near the point of
- tangency. If necessary, you can cancel the selection by
- choosing the BACK-UP option and selecting another entity.
-
- Indicate a position for the center of the circle by
- selecting a Position Menu option.
-
- If a tangent circle cannot be created (e.g., because the
- indicated center position is on the selected tangent
- entity), an error message is displayed. You are prompted
- to press <Enter> and to select a different tangent entity.
-
- In 2-D construction mode, the circle is created in the
- construction view, at the depth that is active when the
- center is indicated.
-
- In 3-D construction mode, the circle is created in the
- plane of the selected entity and the indicated point.
-
- To create another circle tangent to the selected entity,
- indicate another center position.
