Create Circle (Ellipse) in 2-point Perspective Drawing using AutoCAD?


Recommended Posts

Sorry...no can do.

 

The basic principle to achieve what you want will be the same whether you are doing it freehand on a piece of paper or in a CAD program. It isn't like no one has ever asked the question before. Long before CAD came along someone, somewhere asked how to draw a circle in a 2D perspective. I saw at least three videos that addressed your question and several tutorials. Here's one for you....

Did you even look at Lee Mac's lisp routine?

 

BTW...grow up. You aren't in grade school anymore.

In many cases those who come here looking for step-by-step answers could have found their questions answered with a simple Internet search. It isn't like no one has ever asked the question before. Heck, long before CAD came along someone, somewhere asked how to draw a circle in a 2D perspective. I saw at least three videos that addressed your question and several tutorials.

Another erudite response I see. Good for you. You're making progress.

 

Have you looked at any of the videos or tutorials? You should have been able to complete the task by now.

ellipse command, specify a start point, specify the width of the ellipse by clicking or entering in a value (@8,0 would be 8 inches from origin for example), you'll repeat that for specifying a height.

Since, geometrically, an ellipse covers all possible perspective views of a circle, this is one option.

 

Another option would be to draw a circle (c, enter).

Then "3dorbit" command, center, right click somewhere in model space, select "Perspective" then refine the specific view you are looking for (depending on your goal).
