Hey, I'm a new user to CAD in general, so I'm not sure if I'm missing some functionality somewhere.  I typically do a lot of 2D drawing, and usually can use geometry to figure out a way to do what I want within the functionality that I know of.

Currently I'm trying to draw a circle, and the measurements I have are the radius, and I can figure out two points where it will intersect lines, although I don't think its orthagonal.

My question is, am I missing functionality to snap a circle with two points and the radius?  That should specify two possible circles, correct?  If not, is there an obvious workaround that I'm missing?

Thanks!


edit:  The best solution I've managed is to draw a circle with the correct radius through one of the points, then anchor a rotation from that point.  Going to play around and see if I can get the rotation to snap to the correct second point somehow.
