I know - the new guy won't stop asking questions.  :) Anyhow, I suck at drawing circles...and my mao has 3 of them.  Or, rather, 2 half circles and about 90% of one.  I can use the circle tool to add a full circle, but I then need to remove only part of it.  Is there a way to do this?

Hi Scarecrow71! Not without a Mod script, unfortunately. I'd suggest drawing a circle and then using that as a guide for making a partial circle with the polygon tool. It doesn't need to be perfect.

Don't be tempted to trace the circle with the freehand sketch tool! That will cause you all sorts of grief. I drew all of these arcs by tracing them using the polygon tool. Your players will never notice that they aren't true arcs and circles:
