: Creating more centered circles in inkscape? In this video tutorial the designer is able to create concentric circles by clicking within center of the current circle and dragging out a new circle.

@Bethany839

In the video a sparse grid is used for consistent series of diameters and placement. It's defined in document preferences. Other grids must be disabled.

3 snap options must be activated:


enable snapping
snap nodes,paths and handles
snap to grid


Other snaps can cause harm.

Press ESC key to deactivate the selection of the last circle. Otherwise the drawing tool does not draw, but tries to move the selected circle.
