  1. Press the Create equilateral triangle button.
  2. Click once to set the center.
  3. Move the mouse and click a second time to set one of the vertices.
  4. Pressing Esc or clicking the right mouse button cancels the function.

Notes

The circumscribed circle is construction geometry, which is only visible when editing the sketch.
