How to Draw a Circle to Exact Dimension

[gator soup]

Hi,

How to I draw a circle in CS4 Ps to exactly 202mm?

I know the Elipise tool> Shift+Drag (for a perfect circle selection) but not how to type in an exact diameter — is there a function for this in CS4?

I would actually prefer to draw the circle in a Vector path if this is possible.

I have Illustraor, but clueless how to get the path over to Ps...

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I got the Pen tool> ToolBar: Elipise> Shift+drag

Still not sure how to get an exact diameter...

Well I would start of with a document that is 202mm x 202mm.

Snap some guides to the center.

Draw a cricle with the selection tool.

Yes, using the ellipse tool set for paths.

Where is says fixed size, just type 202mm in each box.

I believe that nailed it, thank you

The Info Pallet gave me exact X-Y center point, with "From Center" also checked, one click popped my circle into registration...nice Adobe engineering.
