Drawing donuts is a quick way to create filled rings or solid-filled circles. Donuts are actually closed polylines that have width. To create a donut, specify its inside and outside diameters and its center. You can continue creating multiple copies with the same diameter by specifying different centers until you press ENTER to end the command. To create solid-filled circles, specify an inside diameter of 0.
