How to draw a semicircle in vector mode

Hi, I'm trying to draw a semicircle in vector mode. I've read and done like what was said here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/12993/. However, the result is not a perfect semicircle. Here is what I get: https://41.media.tumblr.com/ff86db5edfe3bf724f68ab2a39ba6faa/tumblr_nv7u92Y8Lq1sbe06zo1_1280.png . So what did I do wrong? Can someone give me more detail in steps how to draw a semicircle? Thanks. Sorry for my bad English.

How to draw a semicircle in vector mode

1: make a circle,
2: add a blank square over one end (blank is the checkered colour)
3: group objects

a blank square would be transparent (invisible)…

It's really hard to give instructions on how to create any shape in vector, you just kinda have to learn how everything works.
I'm going to share a semi-circle sprite in a project with instructions on how I created it on my alt account. I'll link back to it here when I'm done.

Ok, so press shift while drawing a circle to make it a true circle and not an oval. Now press the reshape button to the right. Drag the dots so that they make a line at about the halfway point, and you are done!

Thank VoltageGames for making a great detailed tutorial. Yet, as I see, it's still not a perfect semicircle. Anyway, it's better to not make it too complex. And thank the other guys also for replying my question.
