Description

This command will create a circular curved edge. With the default values, the circular curved edge will be closed and therefore will be a circle. If the properties Angle 0 or Angle 1 are changed from their default values (0 and 360) the edge will be an open curve, an arc.

Alternatively a Part Circle can be initially defined from three points. Once created the circle will only contain the standard Part Circle properties and will no longer contain a reference to the creation points.

Usage

A Circle geometric primitive is available from the Create Primitives dialogue in the Part workbench.

  1. Switch to the Part
  2. There are several ways to access the Create Primitives dialogue:

Properties

  • Radius: the radius of the curved edge (arc or circle)
  • Angle 0: start of the curved edge, (degrees anti-clockwise), the default value is 0
  • Angle 1: end of the curved edge, (degrees anti-clockwise), the default value is 360
