The cropping and slicing package contains now a new member: "Crop path by circle". You get it from

as before. With the new plugin you can cut a path to circular form. The result is a new path. In addition, instead of the cropped path you can use the plugin to cut a circular hole.
An example: I used Ofnuts' Truchet plugin to make an interesting path, and then I cropped it to circular form, and I made a circular hole in it. Here are both:
The cropping circle is input as a line segment (a 2-anchors path). The line segment can mean either a diameter of the circle, or the center and one point on the circle.
This plugin arose as a by-product of another project. It involves solving numerically an equation of degree 6. Please report if you find cases where it acts strangely. The code is a little tricky and anything is possible.
