Ah - and don't forget that you need to finish the circle with the
right-mouse button!
So the steps are (more or less):
- enable editing
- enable advanced digitizing tools (the button with square and ruler)
- enable the circle tool (e.g. "Add Circle by a Center Point and Another
Point" tool)
- click in the canvas to set the circle center
- press "d" for distance and enter your radius (e.g. 5)
- press right mouse button to finish the circle
Hope this helps,
Andreas

Hi Madeline,
You need to enable the "Advanced Digitizing mode/panel". See
https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/editing_geometry_attributes.html#the-advanced-digitizing-panel
for details.
The shortcut "d" (distance) is your friend. When this mode is activated
you can enter distances (like your radius) with the keyboard and QGIS
will constrain to these values.
You need to invest a bit of time to understand all the construction
modes, but once you get it, it is quite powerful.
Greetings,
Andreas

Dear QGIS Team,
I would like to create a circle whose diameter is 75 metres. I am
using QGIS version 3.16.3-Hannover.
My procedure so far has been like this:
1. create a new shapefile layer -> geometry type: polygon
2. in edit mode of this layer: add circle with centre and another
point
--> How can I change the radius/diameter of the circle afterwards or
is there another possibility to create a circle with diameter
directly?
Thank you very much and best regards
Madeline
