Description
An Ellipse geometric primitive is available from the Create Primitives dialogue in the Part workbench.
The Create Primitives dialogue can be accessed via the CreatePrimitives icon File:Part CreatePrimitives.svg located in the Part menu or the Part toolbar, in the Part Workbench.
This command will create a elliptical curved edge. With the default values, the elliptical curved edge will be closed and therefore will be an ellipse. If the properties Angle 1 or Angle 2 are changed from their default values (0 and 360) the edge will be an open curve.
Properties
- Major radius: the major radius of the ellipse, the default value is 4
- Minor radius: the minor radius of the ellipse, the default value is 2
- Angle 1: start of the edge of the ellipse or elliptical curved edge, (degrees anti-clockwise), the default value is 0
- Angle 2: end of the edge of the ellipse or elliptical curved edge, (degrees anti-clockwise), the default value is 360
