How do I connect a circle to a NET?
I want to draw a circle and connect that circle to ground.

use the NAME command to name it to the net it belongs to. it must be
drawn in a copper layer.
If I click on NAME command and then click the circle nothing happens.
I dont see a dialog to enter in the name.

yup, I get the same. but it works for arcs so just make it out of one or
two arcs.
The arc command, when trying to make a circle is not as accurate as the
circle command.
Say I want to use the arc command to create a circle with a radius of 9.5mm
centered at (20mm,20mm)
My calculation for creating the circle using the arc command are (20,29.5)
to (20.17,29.5) Curve = -359.
If you try it in eagle the center is off.

just make 2 semicircles and overlap them. this is a good use for the
COPY command ( which really duplicates objects).
i don't think the 2nd coordinate is a point that is drawn, it is just
used to define the diameter and that leads to an error since you don't
have the correct diameter. i can't offer you a better answer since I use
v4 which is slightly different but I can do it with semicircles exactly.
watch out for grid settings.

With V5, this is the same.
A CIRCLE can't have a signal name, but ARCs can. So the correct solution
to this is drawing to half circles. (BTDT.)

Gary Gofstein thanks for the answer the half circles worked for me.
