Thank you. That also will do with "Center, Point". Using "@(number)<angle" also will do.

Yes.  That is one of the great things about LibreCAD: you can accomplish the same thing in many different ways.  Here is a tip for you in case you didn't know it.  As you know, you can enter a relative coordinate like this: "@2,0" but in version 2.2.0 you can also enter "2..0".  LibreCAD will translate this to "@2,0".  This, to me, is easier than having to hit SHIFT+2 to get the @ symbol.  A very useful feature.

About circles.  LibreCAD offers eight (8) different ways to draw a circle.  I use Center,Point and Center,Radius most of the time.  On a rare occasion I will use one of the other methods.  I suppose that i have used them often enough that I don't find an confusion with them at all.  This is just a personal observation and my feedback to the development team is to not change these two methods.
