Was having difficulty adding Global width to circles.
Previously i used to draw a polylinw (PL) on top of a circle.
Then delete the circle and gave global width to the polyline.
Then i found a easy way to do it.
1- Use the DONUT (DO) command specify the inner and outer diameters.
Select the donut, modify properties(MO) add global width.
2- Start by making a polygon (POL) with4 sides.
Check inscribed (I) in circle when prompted.
Next specify your radius.
That will create a square.
Then select polyline edit (PEDIT), then select fit (F), then width(W).You have a circle with a global width!
