[Qgis-user] Create circle with diameter in QGIS

[Andreas Neumann]

Ah - and don't forget that you need to finish the circle with the 
right-mouse button!

So the steps are (more or less):

- enable editing

- enable advanced digitizing tools (the button with square and ruler)

- enable the circle tool (e.g. "Add Circle by a Center Point and Another 
Point" tool)

- click in the canvas to set the circle center

- press "d" for distance and enter your radius (e.g. 5)

- press right mouse button to finish the circle

Hope this helps,

Andreas
