Circle Tangant to Ellipse

I am needing to place a circle with a Dia of 1.5 tangant to the ellipse marked and the polyline it it adjacent to.

How do i do it?

Fillet command does not work

Trim Edges.dwg

Yeah, AutoCAD is a little flakey with ellipses. Try OFFSETting the ellipse and the polyline .75 units, then use that intersection as the center point for your 1.5 Dia circle. TRIM as needed.

Good question. Ellipses aren't the easiest thing to work with and what nestly suggested will do the job.

Follow the steps ,

circle :

Right-Click with the mouse after holding down the Shift button and choose Tangent and close the cursor to the Ellipse and make the first point

After that enter the dia which is = 1.5

Congratulations .

Sorry Buddy. That will not work. i can tell you that without even trying it.

please see my attached drawing give it a go yourselves

Why not use geometry constraints rather then osnaps (the only way to absolutely define geometry)?

Please Explain?

Please Explain?

On the principle that a picture is worth a thousand words (F1 is useful as well) see attached, these are a little clunky to work with in AutoCAD compared to modern CAD programs - but they do work.....
