Choose Circle from the Draw section. The New Circle form appears in the right sidebar while a preview ring tracks your inputs on the canvas.
2. Right sidebar options

3. Create the shape
Click Save Changes or press Enter to place the circle on the active layer. Cancel abandons the draft.
Closed circular paths work well for cut-out discs, washer rings, and round engraving boundaries.

Laser tips
For cut-out holes, size the circle to the finished opening — kerf compensation is handled when you configure the cut operation. Pair circles with Repeat (Circluar) to place bolt-hole patterns around a hub.
