The Doughnut Tool creates an ellipse shape with a hole cut out of the centre.
Customisation
The Doughnut Tool has options on the shape and on the context toolbar to control the size of the hole and completion of the circle.
Settings
The following settings can be adjusted using a vertical tool slider:
Width—controls the width of the line using a vertical slider next to the tool's location. Slide up or down to set the width.
The following settings can be adjusted from the context toolbar:
Keep selected—when enabled (default), the new shape layer will be selected on creation. When disabled, the new object is deselected which prevents it from adopting the next object’s stroke/fill properties.
Hole Radius—controls the width of the hole at the shape's centre.
Start/End Angle—sets the position of the start/end stops relative to 360°.
Invert Angle—switches the Start and End angle values. This converts acute shapes to obtuse (and vice versa) and flips the shape horizontally and/or vertically.
Close Pie—if the circle is incomplete, closes the shape to create a full circle.
Convert to Curves—converts the selected object into a series of connected lines and nodes.
