4.  Move working plane and create second circle.

To create the circle at the other end of the bracket in the same manner, we need to first move the working plane to the origin of the circle. The simplest way to do this without entering number offsets is to move the WP to an average keypoint location by picking the keypoints at the bottom corners of the lower, right rectangle.

  1. Utility Menu:  WorkPlane
         Offset WP to
              Keypoints
  2. Pick keypoint at lower left corner of rectangle
  3. Pick keypoint at lower right of rectangle
