Resizing a Circle, Arc or Ellipse

While in Select mode , you can resize a circle/arc by expanding or contracting a point on its circumference. (You can also move the circle/arc/ellipse in any direction.)

Resize 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 circle/arc/ellipse's circumference, and hold.

The circumference changes from blue to bright green.

3. Move the cursor to expand or contract the circle/arc/ellipse.

4. Release the mouse button to define the new size.

All constraints with other entities remain. For example, if you are resizing 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.
