#### Circle Basic Scan - CAD Data Method

The InitVec of the circle is calculated based on the first click that is used to calculate the circle with this method.

Type:

The following types of circles are allowed:

1) IN: A Hole

| A - Hole Case B - Starting Point C - Initial Vector D - Angle

2) OUT: A Stud

| A - Stud Case B - Starting Point C - Initial Vector D - Angle

3) PLANE: A Plane circle executed on the plane the circle is lying on.

Angle:

This is the angle (in degrees to scan ) from the Start Point. Both positive angles and negative angles can be used. Positive angles are considered counterclockwise and negative angles are considered clockwise. The CutVec is considered the axis about which the angle rotates.

Diameter:

This is the diameter of the circle.

Depth:

This is the Depth applied against the CutVec direction. Both positive and negative values can be used.

Example: If the circle has a center of 1,1,3, a CutVec of 0,0,1, and a depth of 0.5, the circle center will be set to 1, 1, 2.5 during execution. If a Depth of –0.5 is used for the same circle , the centroid would be shifted to 1,1,3.5 during execution.
