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.

Correct answer

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.

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.
