Ellipses

Right-click Circle image\CIRCP.gif to draw an ellipse.

·   An ellipse has a major axis and a minor axis. You can draw ellipses at any angle. The angle of the major axis is called the inclination of the ellipse.

·   CC3 remembers the center of each circle, arc, or ellipse you draw and offers it as a default or prior value the next time you draw an ellipse during the same work session. This feature lets you draw concentric ellipses. Right-click to accept the default or prior, or enter a different value as explained under the individual ellipse commands.

·   To change an ellipse’s radius, use EDIT (image\EDIT.gif), DYNAMIC EDIT (image\DYNEDIT.gif), or STRETCH (Edit > Stretch).
