(solved) Circle (Tangent-Tangent-Radius) not working

Post by jvalencia » Mon Jun 29, 2015 8:36 pm

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it just doesnt work.

It works with Tangent-Tangent-Point, but that's not desirable in this case. I want a radius of 2 mm.

This is what I want to achieve (red circle):

I'm using Qcad 3.9.4 CE.

See my attached dxf, please.

This seems to work fine here. Perhaps you're trying to draw on a locked layer.

Hi Andrew, I just get a "No Solution" error in the command line.

I click one arc, then the other and finally I get a "No solution" message.

Hi', you need to make sure that you enter the radius 2 in the upper field box.

Hi Clive, you were right. I'm still paying the autocad toll. I was expecting a radius input in the command line.

By the way, this software rocks!
