Hi Ken,

You need the shape tool. In Windows you can use the F5 key to activate the circle tool, and then use Shift + CTRL + F to open the properties window. In this window you can set the background color of the circle and the color of the line.

Here's a video on YouTube.

All I want to do to begin with is draw a simple Line Circle. (white background with white inside the circle).

But instead it draws a dashed-rectangle with (4) little squares.  Two squares are on the rectangle and the other two are outside.  So, I go into: Edit, Preferences and the Circle it not even listed under Shapes!   Crazy.

Does anybody know what I should do?

Thank you.

Ken
