Circle by 3 Points

This tool is used to create a circle that passes through three points (or buttons, circles, dart tip, etc.). This is very handy when the points already exist, and it is hard to connect all of them with the Arc Tool. You can change the properties of the created circle using the Circle Properties dialog.
