Full Version: default diameter

Mi all,
is it possible somehow (didn't find in ini file) to have default parameter Diameter instead of Radius when drawing circles?

Thanks.
Yuri

yes
click on radius :)

For center circle, after selecting center, or tan_tan circle, after selecting the two tangent points, click on "Diam", which will then change to "Radius".
A second click, on "Radius" reverts to "Diam". It is very cool.

I think what Yuri is saying is that whenever you draw a circle, the measurement defaults to radius, and you have to click to switch the value to diameter.

I would also like to see an ini setting to default to diameter. Most of the circles I draw are for bolt holes, and therefore I'm looking to directly specify a diameter.

Hi Mr. Yuri, yes it's in the moi.ini file under:

[Commands]
UseDiameterDefault=n

Switch that to =y and then it should use diameter as the default radial input method.
