I'm trying to draw a circle between two other circles using the Tangent, Tangent, Radius function. The problem I am having is that the two circles are different diameters, namely 50mm and 30mm and are 62mm apart.
I am trying to produce a 50mm radius circle between them and for the life of me I cannot do it!

Any help would be most grateful!

Hello.
What version of NanoCAD do you work with?
I've just tried and it asks me for a fird tan.
Do you have the same?

I'm using nanoCAD 5.0 (the free version).

I'm selecting the two circles at the tangent points indicated in the diagram below but the resultant 50mm radius circle is not drawn in the position you would have expected it to be in.

Oh, I see.
Sorry, but 5 version has no updates now, so, this behaviour is as it is.
I don't see simple solutions.
Maybe working with different OSNAP modes and instruments like MOVE and ROTATE will be useful.
Really sorry, for not helping.

Ok. Thanks for your help anyway. Hopefully the developers will address this issue, along with others, in the next release.
