Moving a Circle, Arc or Ellipse

While in Select mode , you can move a circle/arc in any direction. The diameter of the circle/arc remains unchanged provided there are no constraints on the circle/arc. (To modify the diameter of the circle/arc, you can resize the circle/arc.)

Note: You can also use the Copy/Move & Rotate function to do this.

Move a circle, arc or ellipse

1. Click the Select option from the Sketcher toolbar. Or press exit until you are in Select mode.

The cursor changes to a black pointer .

2. Click on the center point of the circle/arc/ellipse, and hold.

The center point changes from blue to bright green.

3. Drag the circle to its required position.

4. Release the mouse button to place the entity.

All constraints with other entities remain. For example, if you are moving a circle that is tangent to a line, both entities will move to maintain the constraint.

Note: You can break a circle/arc's constraints with all other entities by double-clicking at step 2, instead of clicking.
