Resize circles

[dugernaut]

How would I resize a circle from .086" to .089" ?

I can only enter 2 digits in the properties! Can that be fixed in a future release?

Yes, that's already fixed in QCAD 3 Beta.

In QCAD 2, you can use the property dialog instead:

- Modify - Properties
- Click circle

Thanks for your reply.

Would it be possible to allow circles to be entered with diameter instead of radius as a default? I'm always having to calculate radius and then enter it. That would save me a TON of time!

Thanks, that works, but...

if the circle was already selected, it does not work as you state.

In other words: I've selected the circle, then I do what you suggested. Nothing happens.

You don't need to select the circle, you have to click it after choosing the tool:

1. Choose menu 'Modify' - 'Properties'
2. Click the circle with the mouse somewhere near its circle line

You may want to enter the diameter in the radius field, followed by '/2', for example to draw a circle with diameter 27.25, enter '27.25/2'.
