Draw a circular mesh region

  1. Click the Create Circular Mat Boundary tool in the Select toolbar. The mouse pointer changes to the Circle tool pointer.
  2. Click the center of the circle and hold down the left mouse button.
    Tip: Only linear or radial grid points may be selected.
    A circle is "rubber banded" to the initial point from your mouse pointer. This indicates the potential new region edge for the subsequent point.
  3. Drag the mouse to a grid point to define the edge of the circle.
  4. Release the mouse button over the second point.
