Minimum Circumscribed Circle
Overview
The minimum circumscribed circle feature generates the smallest circle that encloses three selected circle elements. After selecting three circles, the software automatically calculates and generates the minimum circle that circumscribes all three.
Steps
Step 1: Click the Function Button
Click the Minimum Circumscribed Circle function in the Combined Measurement menu.
Note
The minimum circumscribed circle function is accessed from the Combined Measurement menu rather than the Measurement Bar or Edit menu.
Step 2: Select Three Circle Elements
In the Vision Area or Geometry Area, select three circle elements in sequence.
Step 3: Generate the Minimum Circumscribed Circle
After selection, the software will automatically calculate and generate the minimum circumscribed circle that encloses the three selected circles.
Notes
- Exactly three circle elements must be selected
- Selection order is flexible
- The generated minimum circumscribed circle can be used in subsequent element construction and tolerance analysis
