When you
specify the center point, the sphere is positioned so that its
central axis is parallel to the Z axis of the current user
coordinate system (UCS).
You can also
use any of the following options in the SPHERE command to define the
sphere:
3P (Three Points). Defines the
circumference of the sphere by specifying three points anywhere in
3D space. The three specified points also define the plane of the
circumference.
2P (Two Points). Defines the
circumference of the sphere by specifying two points anywhere in 3D
space. The plane of the circumference is defined by the Z value of the first point.
TTR (Tangent, Tangent, Radius). Defines
the sphere with a specified radius tangent to two objects. The
specified tangency points are projected onto the current UCS.
