Ellipse

Creates an ellipse

Button:

Command name: _ellipse

Use _ellipse to create an ellipse. The first two points of the ellipse determine the position and length of the first axis. The third point determines the distance between the centre point of the ellipse and the end point of the second axis.

  1. Specify the centre point of the ellipse.
  2. Specify the end point of the first axis.
    Note:
    This defines the first axis through the two end points. The angle of the first axis determines the angle of the ellipse. The first axis can define both the longer and the shorter ellipse axis.
  3. Define the distance to the second axis.
    Note:
    This defines the second axis by the distance from the centre point of the first axis to the end point of the second axis.
