Insert circles or ellipses

You can insert circles or ellipses and edit them, as required.

Procedure

  1. Click Circle in the Insert tab bar.

  2. Move the mouse pointer to the workspace. It is now displayed as crosshairs.

  3. To place the graphic object at its default size, click the relevant position.

  4. To specify the size of the graphic object, click the relevant position, hold down the mouse button, and drag the mouse pointer in the required direction until the object reaches the corresponding size.

  5. Release the mouse button.

The graphic object is placed with the corresponding size.

Tip

To create a circle of a size you you want, press the Shift key while dragging the mouse pointer across the workspace. In this case, the change in size is proportional.

To create an ellipse, drag the mouse pointer without pressing the Shift key.
