Are you wanting to create geometry from a model ?
or
are you designing a model ?
to create your own geometry, you must be in the correct C-plane
-you cannot create a circle around the X-axis when C-plane =TOP, so you must be in Right SIDE. ( Ditto for around the Y, C-plane=FRONT)
-next is the construction depth ( screen bottom icons [L-click Z and pick a point on screen] now sketch a circle
Handy Helper Hint:
Turn on a visible grid ( will indicate the active plane and construction depth
alt-G, visible grid ON, Active grid OFF
grid spacing 0.25" x .25"
Grid size = 1.5"
colour light grey #8
