I’m trying to draw a circle, where two other circles intersect

is this possible?

How would I find this 2d intersection point and then make my circle?

Can you draw a line from the 2 points where the circles intersect and then draw a circle from the center of that line to the nearest point that intersects?

Yes, you certainly can. Thank you.

I hadn’t noticed the centerpoint wasn’t locked.

Reminded me of Geometry class, learning to draw a perpendicular line with a compass. Yes I am that old enough to actually have used one. 😆

I’ve got lots of stupid questions,  
and I appreciate stupid answers.  
That was really funny.
