rookie37 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I want to sketch an ellipse Major dia 111000 Minor dia 18234 How do I do it? Quote
Be_cool Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Click where you want to place the center of the ellipse and drag the mouse in the desired direction>click and drag down>dimension your elipse Quote
ReMark Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Do you want to do this "old school" style (like it was done on a drafting board) or just use the built-in ELLIPSE command as shown above? Quote
rookie37 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Sorry for my ignorance. I know little about sketch mode. That's because I usually draw in acad and import the sketch into inventor. Is it possible for me to vary the ellipse? I'd like to dimension the major and the minor axis and change these dimensions to suit Quote
JD Mather Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Simply use Construction lines for the major and minor axis and dimension those. You might read this document. http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/skillsusa%20university.pdf I certainly wouldn't submit myself to the torture of using AutoCAD as my sketcher. Quote
