Title: Drawing a circle by positioning its center FIRST and keep its position fixed
Post by: bendesarts on May 04, 2016, 08:01:00 AM
Hello,

I would like to draw a circle by positioning its center first and modify it radius without changing the position of the center.
In other words, for the moment, when I draw a circle, i know how to change the position of the center of a form. However, after having positioned the center of the circle where I want, when I modify the radius, the position of the center is changed. Consequently, I put a lot of time iterating so as to draw a circle with a center at a desired position.

How can I change the radius of a circle without changing the position of the center of the circle ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Various shapes are ready for use in stencils of Visio.
Such a circle is in the left side menu at "drafting tool"  in  "Visio extra" in "other shapes".
The name may be "circle - dia".

If you don't like it, how would you like "circle1" in my stencil "Geometry Tool".
Short you tube video for help is available in right click menu.

All mechanism of shapes are visible, if you open shapesheet of each shape.
Shapesheet may be open by right click menu, open shapesheet.
You may be need to set Visio option to developer mode.
