Draw Ellipses - Autodesk 057B1-41A111-1001 - AutoCAD LT 2010 User Manual

Draw Ellipses

The shape of an ellipse is determined by two axes that define its length and
width. The longer axis is called the major axis, and the shorter one is the
minor axis.
The illustrations below show two different ellipses created by specifying axis
and distance. The third point specifies only a distance and does not necessarily
designate the axis endpoint.
If you are drawing on isometric planes to simulate 3D, you can use ellipses to
represent isometric circles viewed from an oblique angle. First you need to
turn on Isometric Snap in the Drafting Settings dialog box (DSETTINGS
command).
