How to make dots in a symbol

[Anonymous]

I'm making a symbol for an emergency stop safety relay.  I would like to make an intersecting dot where the reed meets with the line from a pin.  How do I place a dot, like in the figure below?dots

The best way I find is to use the circle option then just make its dimensions so that it appears as a dot.

The Width is always double the radius to get a solid DOT.  This pic is from the footprint editor but is the same in the board layout editor, and the same principle applies again in the Schematic or Symbol editors.

Wow, it took me a few tries to understand what you meant.  

So first make a circle.  Then right-click the circle and change the radius to be 1/2 the width.  I searched everywhere on the forum and google for the solution.  Thank you, Rod! Before circleadd circlechange radius

If you set the width to 0 the circle will be solid and filled completely. The outer edge will then be exactly at the set radius from the center.
