  display color of the selected construction circles.

• 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. 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 the 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. The Drawing Editor also provides tools for directly adding ellipses. You don't have to create an ellipse by modifying a construction circle as you do in Modeling .

• Construction circles on drawings are not plotted when those drawings are printed.
• Since there are some fundamental differences between construction circles in a 2D and 3D environment, the options shown on the Construction Circle Edit window depend on whether you are in the Drawing Editor or Modeling .
