Ellipse (2D)
Insert
Geometry Ellipses (Sketch/Sheet
Level)
Use this command to create various types of
ellipses by defining points. Center,
Corner, Center Angle and Corner Angle methods are supported. Refer
to each method in the Required Inputs section below. Ellipses
are automatically constrained and dimensioned if the options are enabled
on the Sketch
Settings Form.
Ellipse (2D),
Center, Diagonal Point Method
Use this method to create a horizontal or
vertical ellipse by defining its center and a diagonal point of its boundary
box. You
can adjust the height and width of the ellipse using the Optional
Inputs (see below).
Required Inputs
1st point - Select the center point.
2nd point - Specify the half length of the horizontal axis or select a corner point of the ellipse's boundary box.
Use this method to create a horizontal or vertical
ellipse by defining the two diagonal points of its boundary box. You
can adjust the height and width of the ellipse using the Optional
Inputs (see below).
Required Inputs
1st point - Select the first diagonal point.
2nd point - Select the second diagonal point.
Ellipse (2D), Center, 2 Points
Method
Use this method to create an ellipse by defining
its center point, a point along the first axis (or enter angle), and a
diagonal point of its boundary box. This command can be used to create
an angled ellipse. The
point along the first axis will determine the angle. You
can adjust the height and width of the ellipse using the Optional
Inputs (see below).
Required Inputs
1st point - Select the center point.
Angle – Select a point along the first axis or specify an angle for the ellipse.
2nd point - Select a point along the horizontal axis or select a corner point of the ellipse's boundary box.
Use this method to create an ellipse by defining
3 corner points of its boundary box or an angle and two points. This command
can be used to create an angled ellipse. The
second corner point determines the width and angle while the third determines
the height. You
can adjust the height and width of the ellipse using the Optional
Inputs (see below).
Required Inputs
1st point - Select the first diagonal point.
Angle – Select a point along the first diagonal or specify an angle for the ellipse.
2nd point - Select the second diagonal point.
Width, Height – You can adjust the height and width of the ellipse using these options.
