Drawing Tool for Circles

Not quite sure if this should have been in Bug reports or suggestions, but I found the drawing tool for circles to be difficult to use, especially when trying to layer circles on top of each other. I draw a circle. Then I try to draw another circle inside the circle. When I tried to move the inner circle I could only click on the outer one. I then had to move the outer one to move the inner one? Is there an easier way to do this? Did I not do something? Am I crazy.....? I think this happens because that drawing tool automatically fills in the circle, but I only want the outer line. Is this a fix for this?
Sorry is There a fix for this?

You should be able to click on the inner circle. Right click on the large circle, select 'to back'. Hit escape to deselect the large circle. Now click on the smaller circle. Let me know if this doesn't work. - Gauss
Wow! I knew it had to be something simple. I honestly forgot about the to back and forward buttons. It worked with only a minor problem with Esc not deselecting the Circle, which was rather odd..... So anyway thanks. It was only a minor problem but thanks for clearing it up for me.
What about for revealing areas? Any way to draw a circle (or even better, a polygon) to specify an area to be revealed?

At the moment Im afraid not dails08. It is a limitation of the fog of war. However, Dynamic Lighting is a great help for this. You can create a circle that blocks light from entering that circle. If you wish to reveal that circle you can delete the circle. - Gauss
Chris.... Have you thought about drawing a white circle or shape and sending it to the front.  it should cover everything beneath it so players can not see it.  It is kind of like putting a piece of paper on the table to cover something up.  : )
