Add Circle at Point Tool

What it Does

Draws a circle centered on a point you select. If you select several points, it draws a circle of the same size at each one. You give the size as a radius, a diameter or a circumference. The radius is the distance from the center to the edge. The diameter is the distance straight across the circle through the center. The circumference is the distance around the edge.

Use this when you need the same circle at several places, such as buttonholes or button positions.
