ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Try using the Center option for your ellipse and look at what you are being asked to provide for input at the command line. Quote
ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Here is what you will be prompted for and what you should enter along with a couple of instructions: Command: el ELLIPSE Specify axis endpoint of ellipse or [Arc/Center]: c Specify center of ellipse: [make your pick] Specify endpoint of axis: 75 [drag your cursor to the right or left; enter distance at keyboard] Specify distance to other axis or [Rotation]: 50 [drag your cursor up or down; enter distance at keyboard] Quote
ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 You'll notice that both numbers used equal half of their major axis. Quote
