Creating an Ellipse

 

You can use this command to draw an ellipse on the XY plane.

\elips

Choose one of the methods for defining the size and shape of the ellipse:

Center point and point on the first and second axes

End points of the first axis and point on the circumference

Center point, end of the first axis and point on the circumference

Define the center, axis end points and/or circumference points as required for the option that you choose.

The ellipse is created.

NOTE In the first option, if the second point you define is not perpendicular to the center of the first axis, a projection of that point parallel to the first axis is assumed.

To ensure accuracy, use this command only in plan view. The ellipse is created on the xy plane.
