Sketch ellipses

Learn how to use the Ellipse command to create ellipses in an active sketch in Fusion.

1. On the Sketch contextual tab, select Create > Ellipse .
2. In the canvas, click to place the center point of the ellipse.
3. Specify the first axis point:
   • Specify the length of the axis.
   • Press the Tab key to switch from length to angle.
   • Specify the angle of the axis.
   • Press Enter or click to place the first axis point.
4. Specify a point along the ellipse:
   • Specify the length of the axis, then press Enter.
   • Or click to place a second point along the ellipse.
5. Optional: Repeat steps 2-4 to create another ellipse.
6. Press Enter to complete the command.

The ellipses, and any construction geometry, constraints, and dimensions that are added to them, display in the canvas.

Tips

• As you move the mouse cursor, object snap symbols display near the geometry when you snap to the sketch grid or other geometry in the design. If you snap to a specific point, the logical constraints are automatically added to the sketch.
