Description

Draws a square inscribed in a construction geometry circle. When starting the tool, the mouse pointer changes to a white cross with a red hexagon icon. The coordinates of the pointer are shown beside it in blue in real time.

Usage

  • After pressing the Create square button, click once to set the center, then move the mouse and click a second time to set one of the vertices.
  • 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.
