If I remember correctly there was an option in PCC2 to adjust the diameter of a circle (drawing in starmap) by holding the shift key by 1 ly... This doen't work anymore for me... I am only able to adjust size by +/-10ly by hitting + or - ? Any solutions for this issue?

Works for me... but only with the +/- keys on the numeric keypad. The problem is that the +/- keys on the main keypad depend on the keyboard layout and produce a different character when used with Shift (or even need Shift to produce a +/-).

An alternative possibility is to type the desired radius as a number and press = (or type the desired change and press +/-). Typing "81=" makes the circle 81 ly in radius, typing "5+" makes it 5 ly larger. This feature is called "prefix argument" and works at many places. VPA has a similar concept under the name "move-or-type interface".

this works pretty well for me... The issue might happen to many players, since many are playing with their mobile devices (notebook, phablet, etc.). Sweeping with 4 to 5 ships would be a pain otherwise
