Ellipse (3D)
Insert 
Wireframe (Part Level)
Use this command at the
Part Level to create an ellipse that lies on a
planar face or datum plane. There are three methods to choose from; 2-points,
3-points and height/width. There
are also angular and projection options. This command is similar to the
Rectangle (3D) command.
- Create an ellipse on
a plane with two diagonal points.
- Create an ellipse on
a plane by height and width.
- Create an ellipse on a plane with three corner points.
Plane -Select a plane to locate the ellipse on. It can be a planar part face or a datum plane.
Corner/Center - This specifies the location of the first point. It refers to the corner or center of the resulting ellipse.
1st., 2nd., 3rd. point - Select the two (or three) points to define the ellipse. Depending on the Corner/Center input above, they could be corner points or the center of the ellipse.
Height/Width - This specifies the height and width of the ellipse if the Height/Width icon above is selected.
Angle - This specifies how many degrees the ellipse should be rotated about the first point.
Project first point to frame - The first point does not have to lie on the plane. You can check this box to project the first point normal to and onto the planar face or datum plane. This option is not available if the 3 Points icon in the Required Inputs section above is selected.
