  1. For a clean result (uniform thickness, smooth and clean edges):

    1. Use the Ellipse select tool to make a selection
    2. Select>To path
    3. Select>None (otherwise step #4 will only create half of the line)
    4. Edit>Stroke path in "Line" mode

    enter image description here

    Simplifications

    • If you do several circles, you can do a selection with several circles in step 1 (shift click for additional circles), and execute steps 2-4 only once.
    • For thin lines (3px or less); you can replace steps 2-4 by a Edit>Stroke selection (but this is ugly on tick lines)
    • You can of course do both together (many thin circles)
