TOPIC: DONUTS

Donuts are filled rings or solid-filled circles that are actually closed polylines with width.

To create a donut, specify its inside and outside diameters and its center. You can continue creating
multiple copies with the same diameter by specifying different center points. To create solid-filled
circles, specify an inside diameter of 0.

A donut consists of two arc polylines that are joined end-to-end to create a circular shape. The width
of the polylines is determined by the specified inside and outside diameters. If you specify an inside
diameter of 0, the donut is a filled circle.

The following prompts are displayed.

Inside Diameter

Specifies the inside diameter of the donut as shown.

Outside Diameter

Specifies the outside diameter of the donut.

Center of Donut
