D. Main Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 While creating certain drawing objects I need to have precise, easy control over certain dimensions A recent example that is frustrating me is that I need to draw versions of Pies with specific radii. That is, I need to have a series of similar or concentric pies, each with a specific, precise radius. The Pie/Donut tool allows you to specify the Hole Radius, Start Angle, End Angle and Total Angle, but I cannot enter an exact circle radius. Let me know if I am missing a specific feature or means, but I haven't found it yet. If not present, PLEASE add as a recommended future feature.

Alfred Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Use the controls in the Transform panel to set the width and height (i.e. the diameter) of the circle.

Renzatic Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Total aside, but I came into this thread expecting pie. I'm leaving it disappointed. Quit toying with my emotions. 😠 Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I initially came in expecting pie, then I left after not finding any. Now I'm back again. Honestly, I don't even know anymore...
