Drag circle by center?
Drag circle by center?
I fully expect to do a forehead slap with this one...
How does one drag a circle or eclipse by it's center to position / move?
Thx

Charles,
Hold down the 'c' key then move the cursor to the edge of the circle until the centre point 'lights up'. (Still holding the 'c' key) click-and-drag away and the circle will follow you to your placing point.

Re: Drag circle by center?
the center "C" lights with both cursor or keyboard command, but when I attempt to re-position the circle by it's center it changes to selection tool.
I assume it's a setting somewhere.

Re: Drag circle by center?
I have the Move window open all the time. I typically move a circle using the "mouse" command from the Move window.
You have to select the object, then using "C" (snap key for center) to "grab" the circle and move it to its new location. I will then use another "snap" command to place the circle exactly where I want it. ie: "E" (End), X (Cross), "C", are typically the commands I end up using to place the object where it needs.
I hope I explained that clearly enough.
