There are many ways to draw arcs and circles. You can start with typing ARC at the command line, read what it says on the commandline and follow the prompts.
for a circle, you type C and do the same.
These commands can also be found under the pulldown menu DRAW.

Or even just C, unless you've changed your shortcuts around?

Ah yes.. I always change C to Copy and set CI as Circle and forget that that is not standard. Thanks GE! Originally Posted by GE13579

I have a new installation here. My drawings are now covered in circles where I tried copying things. Yes changing COPY to C is one of the first things I do too. Originally Posted by Tiger
