PELLIPSE

Can someone please explain the function of this command to me thank you? (PELLIPSE)

[gcp310]

it changes they way autocad draws an elipse. Mainly used when CAD/CAM systems are involved.

when sending shapes to a cnc router, they must be in a polyline format. any curves must have a radius and basepoint otherwise they wont elaborate in the cnc program. Pellipse variable will change the way an ellipse is drawn in the sense that a radius and basepoint are given.

the variable is either 0 or 1. have a look at what i mean. try drawing an ellipse in both settings

If "pellipse" is set to 1, you can trim it, pedit it, and join it to make a single entity for extrusion. You can't explode a true ellipse, but you can a polyline-ellipse.
