A Part Circle is a parametric shape that can be created with the
Part Primitives command. In the coordinate system defined by its DadosPlacement property, the circle lies on the XY-plane with its center at the origin.
A Part Circle is in fact a closed counterclockwise circular arc, it can be turned into an arc by changing its DadosAngle1 and/or DadosAngle2 properties.
See Part Primitives.
A Part Circle can alternatively be created by selecting three points:

A Part Circle object created with the scripting example below is shown here.
See also: Property View.
A Part Circle object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:
Attachment
The object has the same attachment properties as a Part Part2DObject.
Base
Length): The radius of the circle or circular arc. The default is 2mm.Angle): The start angle of the circular arc. Valid range: 0° < value <= 360°. The default is 0°.Angle): The end angle of the circular arc. Valid range: 0° < value <= 360°. The default is 360°. If DadosAngle1 and DadosAngle2 are equal, or if one angle is 0° and the other 360°, a full circle is created.See also: Autogenerated API documentation, Part scripting and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
A Part Circle can be created with the addObject() method of the document:
circle = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Circle", "myCircle")
"myCircle" is the name for the object.Example:
import FreeCAD as App
doc = App.activeDocument()
circle = doc.addObject("Part::Circle", "myCircle")
circle.Radius = 10
circle.Angle1 = 45
circle.Angle2 = 225
circle.Placement = App.Placement(App.Vector(1, 2, 3), App.Rotation(30, 45, 10))
doc.recompute()
