PlanSwift makes drawing area and linear circles simple. To draw a linear circle with a 50-foot diameter:

Click on the top half of the Linear button on the Home tab ribbon bar.

This opens the Properties - [Linear] window.

Enter a name for the linear circle.

Select a color for the item.

Click on the Point where the circle is to begin (we'll place this linear circle over a 50' dimension line.

Press the A key on the keyboard to specify an arc, and then click on where the circle diameter should extend to. This defines the middle Point of the circle's arc. The diagram shows the magnifier (pressing letter M on the keyboard) being used to more accurately place the middle Point.

Move the cursor anywhere off that Point and then press the C key to close the arc.

The linear circle is completed and closed.
