To Place an Ellipse by End Points

  1. Select the Place Ellipse tool (Drawing > Home > Placement > Ellipse Tools split button ).

  2. In the tool settings window, set Method to Ends.
  3. Enter a data point to define one end of the primary axis.

    If Primary, Secondary, and Rotation are on, the ellipse is placed.

  4. If necessary, enter a second data point to define another end of the primary axis.

    If either combination of constraints is on, the ellipse is placed:

    — Primary or Secondary, and Rotation

    — Primary and Secondary

  5. If necessary, enter a third data point to define the secondary axis.


    Place Ellipse, with Method set to Ends and all constraints off.



    Place Ellipse, with Method set to Ends and all constraints on. Primary axis denoted by “P.” Secondary axis denoted by “S.” Rotation angle denoted by “A.”
