Create ellipse

Ellipse Creates an ellipse with a center point, a major axis, and a minor axis that you define.

1. First select a part face or work plane to use as the sketch plane . In an empty file, the sketch plane is preset, and you can start to sketch.
2. On the ribbon Sketch tab Draw panel, click Ellipse .
3. In the graphics window, click to create the ellipse center point.
4. Move the cursor in the direction of the first axis, indicated by a centerline. Click to set the direction and length of the axis.
5. Move the cursor to preview the length of the second axis, and click to create the ellipse.
6. To quit, press Esc or click another command

Note: You can use Offset to create an offset from an ellipse. The result is either a mathematical ellipse or an associative spline , depending on the offset selection point on the original spline.
