Shape Tool and Points

Hi Gil,

Another way to solve it...

This is the way I would do it, it's also very quick.

As a matter of interest only:

Although Fred's method creates a 'circle' it is not an exact circle. The shape is very circular but not a true circle. But then again neither is a circle created by the ellipse tool. To test this out zoom to 10%, create the largest circle you can which is still totally visible. I created on one 7000 x 7000 px. Now rotate it 22.5 degrees, it becomes 6997.9 x 6997.9, two pixels smaller, how can this be, shock, horror

Can anyone confirm my video is streaming. I can see it but several hours later Acorn cannot.

Yes, video works fine here Egg.

Note: Fred & I's method works fine here and produces a 100% perfect circle.
But remember to use 'Radius' or 'Diameter' creation. NOT bounds.

This is the point I noted out of pure interest Steve, it doesn't create a perfect circle. Create a circle with the ellipse tool. size it to 300x300px. Create the circle via your quick shape tool method. set it to 300 x 300px. Select both and align together centrally. Zoom into top left side in wireframe, there is a gap. Not at the top, bottom, left or right sides but at the intermeadiate points nw, ne, se & sw.

So it creates a circle that for all intended use is a near enough circle, but not the perfect circle
