tedcurt Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I searched the forum how to do this, but couldn't find a solution, so, how do you draw a circle where the center of the circle stays at the point where the circle is drawn from?

BoltBait Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 OK, here's how you can do it: Add a new layer. On that layer... Use the Gradient Tool with Radial Gradient . You can then draw the circle as you described (from center to outer edge). Magic wand the transparent area with a tolerance of 0. Invert your selection (Ctrl-I) and press the backspace key (flood fill). Feather as necessary. Wipe hands on pants.

Panhead Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 they want to start the middle of the circle in a specific place, then drag the circle out to adjust its size Quote My deviantART iGraphix ~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

The method of which I described above. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoltBait Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I agree. It would be a nice feature. That is one of the circle drawing modes of CorelDRAW.

Bill-Student Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Sorry Bolt Bait been trying your method - I get a tiny cirle at the 'centre' point and can't size it - going back to my old school set of drawing tools I haven't used for decades - possible 5 decades :-( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
