Trying to draw circle with Radius 30, is 30 pt and not matching with coordinates

I currently have this:

\draw[line width = 2mm] (0,0) circle (30 pt);

This should be a circle with radius 30. But this is not the case. Indeed, when I want to go from a point on a circle to another point, I get rather ridiculous results.

\draw[line width = 2mm] (-30,0) -- (-60,-60);

So 30 pt does not mean the circle extends to a radius of 30 in the coordinate system as I need it to. Any help here would be appreciated.

it would be a lot easier to understand your question if you provided a document that shows the problem rather than disconnected fragments. – David Carlisle Jun 02 '19 at 17:12

The default unit vectors are 1cm long, not 1pt. Why not circle(30)? – Torbjørn T. Jun 02 '19 at 17:16
