In Blender, there is a very handy tool that allows you to quickly create a circle around your cursor. This is extremely useful for creating precise circular shapes, and can be a real time saver.

To use this tool, simply press Shift+A and then select the "Circle" option from the menu that appears. A new circle will be created centered on your cursor. You can then use the mouse or keyboard to adjust the size of the circle.

Once you have the circle the size you want, you can press Enter to confirm, and then begin moving the circle around by clicking and dragging with the mouse.
