Tangent to Three EntitiesKeyCreator Drafting / Curve / Circle / tangent / Tangent to Three Entities
Use this feature to create a circle tangent to three selected entities. When creating circles of this type, keep the following in mind:
-
In 2D construction mode, the circle is created in the construction plane, at the depth that was active when you selected the third tangent entity.
-
In 3D construction mode, the circle is created in the plane of the selected entities.
Using the Function:
-
Select Three Tangents from the Curve>Circle>Tangent Ribbon area.
-
Select the first tangent entity, near the point of tangency.
-
Select the second tangent entity, near the point of tangency. Make sure the entities you select are coplanar.
-
Select the third tangent entity, near the point of tangency.
In the example above, the darkened circle is tangent to the two diagonal lines and smaller (inner) circle
