Make Position Circle

The Position Format String and Vectors Creation sections have the same settings as the previous tools.

The Counting and Measures section lets you choose to create a set number of positions (Positions By Count) or you can create positions in a set measure in meters.

The Pivot Type section lets you choose if the center of the circle is fixed with mouse interaction, or if the circle is the location of a position. In this case, you set the position for the center using the position combo box.

The Type of Creation section lets you choose which kind of geometric curve to create: circle, ellipse or arc.

Suppose you want to create a circle, and that the pivot is direct, i.e. the center is fixed manually.
On any 2-D viewport (top, left or front), the first click, sets the center of the circle, the second click, sets the ray of the circle. At this point, the application will create the specified position along the circle.
