What you can do...
Place the cursor on the starting point of the torus. Press [o] (for options) for torus settings. The second point you are clicking with M1 is the center of the torus and can be entered with [Return] or M1. The third one is the end point. Are point one and three identical, a full circle will be drawn. These arcs are always drawn in mathematical positive sense (counter clockwise). You can call an options dialog with M11 or [o] and enter the following information:
Line width: Width of the torus line.
Aura: The torus is also drawn in the according deletion layer. Additionally, the aura value is added to added to the line width.
Layer/Page: Here you define on which layer of the PCB or page in the schematic this and future tori will be drawn.
Aura: Width of the spacing brtween torus and an automatic ground plane.
