basty Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Drawing an ellipse inside a rectangle like this is easy, piece of cake: However, how do you draw an ellipse inside a rectangle like this (acad file is attached)? How do you find the center point of the ellipse inside this rectangle, please tell me step-by-step and draw the construction line. Ellipse.dwg Quote
SLW210 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 I can't view your images at work. What is in your drawing is a non rectangular parallelogram, a rectangle has 4 right angles (90°). You will need to manually construct an ellipse in that one I believe. http://draftingmanuals.tpub.com/14276/css/14276_119.htm Quote

ReMark Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Are you drawing something is perspective? What is this for exactly? How was the object that you drew constructed? Quote

How do you find the center point of the ellipse inside this rectangle, please tell me step-by-step and draw the construction line. There is no single solution. The center point is anywhere on the line between diagonal's midpoints. The intersection between the 2 lines connecting opposite tangent points is constant and equal to diagonal's intersection. In the attached dwg, select the ellipse and drag from it's centerpoint. ellipse.dwg Quote
