Is there any way to change the size of a circle?

    Could you be more specific? You might also look at Z copy and expand...

    ron,

    you can try exporting to a sub-drawing and modifying the numbers.

    _clp_path = (_clpPathStart (list (_clpAdjustPt -100:-500 _clp_cinfo))
    (_clpMKSConvert 0.000000 _clp_cinfo->t_from_units _clp_cinfo->t_to_units))
    _clp_path = (_clpPathArcCenter _clp_path (_clpMKSConvert 0.000000 _clp_cinfo->t_from_units
    _clp_cinfo->t_to_units) (_clpAdjustPt -100:-500 _clp_cinfo) nil

    i changed the -100:-500 numbers and the circle gets smaller / larger.

    say hi to acd for me.

    To be more specific, I do ADD-CIRCLE, select my non-etch layer, pick a point to start and drag it out as big as I want and drop it.  Now I want to change the size.  On other tools I can do this.  I have not found a way on Allegro.  The circle is defined as a LINE.  When you do ZCOPY, it does work but turns it into a SHAPE.  Thanks.

    Ken,

    My name is Scott.  So from the 2 replies I have received, I come to the conclusion that there is not an easy way to change the size of a circle.  Actually, it would be nice to be able to add-circle and type in a size.  How do I ask Allegro to add this feature?
