Completing the circle

Completing the Circle

I’m not sure when this changed….because I just tried it one day and it worked.  I know it works in 2006, your results for other versions of SolidWorks may vary.   

Say you have a arc in a sketch and you now want to change in to a circle.  Don’t delete it and redraw it ….just drag one of the endpoints around the circle and drop it on the other end point.  Then magically both end points will disappear and you’ll have a complete circle.

A tip found on Christine’s Blog: http://designsmarter.typepad.com/christines_blog/solidworks_tip/index.html
