Ellipse_Center

 

Creates an ellipse by its centerpoint, major axis and minor axis.

  • Select the centerpoint of the ellipse.
  • Move the mouse to set the length and angle of the major axis, or enter the major axis length and angle in the Inspector Bar.
  • Set the length of the minor axis, which is always perpendicular to the major axis. You can also enter the axis length in the Inspector Bar.

Local menu option:

Rotation:  Sets the minor axis by rotation from the horizontal axis, rather than perpendicular from the major axis.
