Diamonds and Gemstones

Gems by Circles

The Gems by Circles command is a simple yet powerful tool for placing round gemstones precisely. It uses the circles you select in your design as guides, and creates a round diamond on each one — with the same diameter as the circle and sitting on the circle’s plane.

How It Works

Select Circles: Choose the circles where you want the gemstones — you can pick as many as you need in one go, and preselection also works. Only true circles are used; any other curve in the selection is simply ignored.
Automatic Placement: One click, and every circle becomes a gemstone:
- Consistent Size: Each gemstone matches the diameter of its circle exactly.
- Aligned Plane: Each gemstone is placed on the plane of its circle, so the orientation is always correct — even on circles that were flowed onto curved surfaces.

The created stones are placed on the gems layer and listed on the Outliner toolbar, ready for prongs, cutters and your gem report.
