Draw Circles

To create circles, you can specify various combinations of center, radius,
diameter, points on the circumference, and points on other objects.
You can create circles in several ways. The default method is to specify the
center and the radius. Three other ways to draw a circle are shown in the
illustration.
Draw a Circle Tangent to Other Objects
The tangent point is a point where an object touches another object without
intersecting it. To create a circle that is tangent to other objects, select the
objects and then specify the radius of the circle. In the illustrations below,
the bold circle is the one being drawn, and points 1 and 2 select the objects
to which it is tangent.
