Circle and Arc Drawing Mode
The circle or arc drawing mode allows you to create several patterns related to the circle: normal circles
(or ellipses), arcs, fan shapes and arc & strings.
All these patterns, except arcs have an outline and a region inside can independently be assigned differ-
ent sewing attributes. Arcs are simple outlines.
Note that you have to decide which pattern type you want to draw before drawing it. You cannot, for
example, draw a normal circle and change it into an arc afterwards.
