Designer – Circle tool

The Circle tool allows you to add circular shapes to your design with customizable size, color, opacity, and stroke settings. When used with the Color Code system, colors can be assigned dynamically based on a record category.

For example, if a record is categorized as Manager and red is assigned to that category, the circle will automatically be filled with red when the badge is printed. Likewise, if a record belongs to the Media category and orange is assigned, the circle will be filled with orange.

This feature is useful for creating designs with circles, squares, or rectangles set to Fill with Color Code. It provides clear visual identification for roles such as Managers, Media, Volunteers, Sponsors, and more. Common use cases include events, sports competitions, and security environments where quick role recognition is required.

Position

The Position properties define the placement and size of an element within the design. Adjusting these values allows precise control over where the circle appears and how much space it occupies.

• Left (X) – Sets the horizontal position of the element, measured from the left edge of the design.
• Top (Y) – Sets the vertical position of the element, measured from the top edge of the design.
• Radius – Defines the size of the circle.

Adjusting these properties ensures the circle is properly aligned and scaled within the design.
