godstrong1 2 Posted August 23, 2007 i was wondering if any one can tell me how to create a plain circle using inkscape.!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgreenh 9 Posted August 24, 2007 Click on the Circle tool (pink circle on the left side) or just press F5 and the circle tool will be selected. Then hold down the left mouse button and drag out a circle to whatever size you want it. If you want a true round circle, hold the Ctrl key while you drag. That is how you draw a circle, is that what you are asking or did I miss something in your question? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgreenh 9 Posted August 25, 2007 I'm glad that helped you out. I don't know of any manual, there is probably a help file of some kind. Using the Ctrl key for circles is pretty much standard on all drawing programs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
