Radius -> Diameter?

Can the user choose the dimensions of the circle from the radius to the diameter on the options? I'm used to add the diameter dimensions, no radius. It is not difficult to calculate from the diameter to the radius but it take times every time :)

Hi JML82, yes you can enter diameter instead of radius if you want.

On every command that inputs a radius value, there is a little "cycler widget" shown in the Radius label like this:



That means you can click on that Radius label and change it to be a Diameter input instead.

It's also possible to edit a setting in the moi.ini file to make it use Diameter as the default instead of Radius. To do that, open the moi.ini file by going to Options > General > "Edit .ini file" button, then inside moi.ini find the line in the [Commands] that says UseDiameterDefault=n and switch it to say =y like this:

[Commands]
UseDiameterDefault=y

Hope that helps!

- Michael
