  • If you want to preselect construction circles, you need to first set the selection filter to ' Construction Circles ' or ' All '.
  • Grayed out fields indicate mixed entries or that the field is disabled.
  • In multi-user Modeling environments, any construction circles that are in your current erection view can be seen by you only, and therefore any changes you make to them will be seen by you alone.
  • Construction circles can be saved using Construction Line Save and loaded using Construction Line Load (in Modeling only). The saved file can also be shared with another SDS2 user and loaded into that user's Modeling session.
  • In addition to the ability to change the color and diameter of construction circles, you can change their " X-rotation " and " Z-rotation " to transform them into ellipses in Modeling.
  • Drawing Editor provides tools for directly adding ellipses. You don't have to create an ellipse by modifying a construction circle as you do in Modeling . See Ellipse Add Center or Ellipse Axis End.
  • In Drawing Editor , you can use this tool to move all construction circles that are visible in your current drawing to a drawing layer of your choice.
  • Construction circles on drawings are not plotted when those drawings are printed.
