Circle size

[JimR]

Why can't I change a circle size to a precise number? If I write 5 it changes it to something 'close to 5' like 4.98

It is because of the line width. Set line width to none and retry.

I was trying to change the circle size with the circle tool (select the circle, then use the circle tool) and that doesn't seem to work properly but when I use the selector tool and change the size it works.

To make a circle of a specified size I have to draw the circle, then change to the selection tool and input the size, is this true or am I missing something?

Well you have to set the size of the ellipse after you've drawn it yes, but you don't need to change to the shape editor, simply enter the H/W in the fields on the info bar when the ellipse tool is still selected, then press enter.

That doesn't work for me, if I make a circle, then write 10 (mm) in both fields it changes to 9.2 mm (or something else close to 10 mm)

Hmm - works fine every time for me.
My option settings are all pretty much defaults.
Perhaps you could use XaReg (link in sig) to return your settings to default and try again?

This is how it works here:
