Elipse

Shortcut "SHIFT + E"

The "Ellipse" command creates an elliptic shape by defining major and minor axis length/radius.

Default

The default command will ask for two points on the major axis length 1 and 2 and the minor axis radius.

Center mode

Select mode "S: Center" and input a major axis distance starting from center point of ellipse 1, the radius of the major axis 2 and the radius of minor axis 3.

Arc mode

The "Arc" mode creates an open ellipse when defining a start angle and end angle. Select the "Ellipse" command and select "A: Arc" before defining the ellipse and the angles.

My CNC-controller can't handle ellipses, how can I convert the object to arcs or lines?
You don't have to. It is done automatically by the postprocessor when you make the CNC-file.
