      Mostly, I don't really know what you are talking about here




M,
Your post seemed to suggest that you thought AI would have to use different curve math from what it uses today, in order to give you the ability to call for a circle in terms of radius, diameter, or circumference. In fact, you stated that with emphasis:

      Before anyone gets upset, let me say I KNOW that AI draws circle-shaped
      and arc-shaped polylines.




I was just pointing out that such an improvement would not require anything so ambitious as another curve math. It's jsut an interface thing. (And that's why I pointed out the distinction between definition of a curve and the mere interface for calling it.)

As I said, I agree with the request.
