Sketch circle with circumference as dimension

Hello everyone!

I'm wrapping a design around a round surface and the length of the sektch is known, but the diameter of the circle is determened by dividing the length by pi. Since I can't enter pi in fusion I used 10 decimals, but the wrapped sketch doesnt really connect to the other side when wrapped.

I was wondering if any of you knows how to enter the circumference as an dimension in a sketch or how to enter pi in the formula for the diameter.

 

I thank you all greatly.

 

Kind regards,

Lars

You can use PI in a parameter just enter PI, note all capital letters. Image only shows 3 places but that's only because I've set my preferences to 3 places, 9 places will be used in calculations. But if you're trying to use emboss I think it will not work with matching or overlapping endpoints.
