### Constructing a Projected Circle

A circle can be constructed from any feature and a plane. PC-DMIS will project the centroid of the given feature onto the plane, creating a circle. If there is only one input feature, the projection will be to the current work plane. The diameter of the projected circle will be four times the probe's diameter.

To construct a Projected Circle:

1. Access the Construct Circle dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Circle).

2. Select the Projection option.

3. Select a feature of any type.

Note: A second feature can also be selected. It must be a plane.

4. Click the Create button.

The Edit window command line for this option would read:
CONSTR/CIRCLE,PROJ,feat_1,(feat_2)
