There are some other entities that may be useful for technical drawings, namely ellipses, rings (donuts), and clouds (normally used for revisions).
The ELLIPSE
command (alias EL
, on the Draw toolbar or on the Draw main menu) creates ellipses and elliptical arcs. By default, the command prompts for specifying two points that define the first axis and a point or a distance that defines the second half axis.
: ELLIPSE Options: Elliptical arc, Center or Specify axis start point» P1 Specify axis end point» P2 Options: Rotation or Specify other axis end point» P3
The Elliptical arc option allows the user to create an elliptical arc by first defining the ellipse and then two points or angles for start and end of arc. The Center option allows the user to define an ellipse starting from its center and then two points for both half axes. The Rotation option creates an ellipse by projecting a circle rotated out of the plane, prompting for this rotation angle.
