Procedure: Centre and Radius

Digitize a geodetic circle defined by a centre point and a point defining the radius.

1. Choose the Geodetic Circle [centre and radius] command.

2. Click a centre point (1).

3. Press and hold the left mouse button.

4. Drag the pointer to expand the circle to an appropriate size.

5. Release the mouse button (2).

The geodetic circle is created.

Procedure: Two Point Diameter

Digitize a geodetic circle defined by the length of its diameter.

1. Select the Geodetic Circle [2 point diameter] command.

2. Click the first point on the diameter.

3. Press and hold the left mouse button.

4. Drag the pointer to expand the circle to an appropriate size.

5. Release the mouse button (2).

The geodetic circle is created.

Procedure: Two Points and a Radius

Digitize a geodetic circle specified by two points on the circumference and a third point defining the length of the radius.

 

1. Select the Geodetic Circle [2 points + radius] command.

2. Click the first point.

3. Click the second point.

The two points are connected by a line. Now add the third point, which defines the centre of the circle and therefore the length of the radius.

4. Press and hold the left mouse button.

5. Drag the pointer to expand the circle to the appropriate size.

6. Release the mouse button.
