Re: [NTLK] Drawing Circles on 2100 using "shapes" mode

Also, I noticed faster drawn circles seem to work better. (After about a
hundred circles drawn different ways, I get 80-90% corrected.) I also
noticed that clockwise drawn circles seem to work better than
counter-clockwise circles. (Or should that be anti-clockwise? I don't want
to cause a flap like the aluminum/aluminium debate of last week.)

OK, here is what I discovered.
If you draw a circle and the end point overlaps the
start point, then it won't draw a circle for you. But
if you draw your circle so that the end point abuts to
the start point, it will draw your circle for you.
Just do not overlap or otherwise cross the starting
point, nor stop prior to attaining the location of the
start point and you should be able to get a circle.
