CIRCLE codes 210-230

Recommended Posts

I'm creating a DXF file containing 3D circles - see below.

In  the fist case the circle is just 2D, in the second case with the addition of codes 210, 220 & 230 (extrusion direction) the circle is 3D. Both circles are centred on the same point but the codes 10, 20 & 30 (centre point) are different.

How do I work out what codes 10, 20, 30, 210, 220, 230 should be when I know the centre coordinates and the extrusion direction.

In the second example I changed just the 210, 220 & 230 values - I expected the circle to stay in the same location and just the orientation - but the circle moves to a new location (with .
