Draw from radius?

Is it possible to draw a circle by starting to draw using the center point then defining a radius by dragging out. Almost everytime we've wanted a circle we wanted it defined from a center point and perfectly round but instead had to create a circle, count out the diameter vertical and horizontally, then move it to where we like. It works, but it's clumsy and a bit slow. Ideally we'd like to select the circle too, hover over the target, count out the radius. Done. Perfectly placed....If we then need it to be an ellipse it would be nice to drag a horizontal or vertical anchor and pull one side and have it mirrored, although we'd still be happy adjusting the 2 sides. Is any of this possible and we are just missing it in the wiki?

No, you cannot currently do what you are asking. Perhaps that would make a good suggestion. :) - Gauss
Just what I was thinking. Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything first. Thanks!
As a work around, you could create a transparent token (or mostly transparent) and give everyone control over it and then use the Aura feature...that creates the aura based on the center of the token. If you use the value of 0, that will create a radius of 1 square (the square the token is in), a radius of 1 creates an aura that is one square larger than the token, etc... Just an idea.
That would certainly do as a work around.
