When I add a circle the first time, it two points, the center and point on the circle that can be used to resize the circle. After the circle is created, when I select the circle, it has a point on it but when I drag it it moves the entire circle. That point can also be used to break the circle into an open curve.

I found it weird that I can’t resize the circle in the same way I did it when I created it.

Thanks

Costab,

I too found this behavior unusual coming from many years using AutoCAD. I understand how the Circle is converted into a simple curve after its creation and must be resized using the Scale tool. This is also true for an ellipse.

Perhaps a future version will support enhanced editing. I frequently use the Autodesk Product Feedback site for that purpose: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=1109794

Regards,

Jerry
