Construction Aid Ellipse > Rectangular, Rotated (Construct Menu)

This command draws a rotated rectangular Construction Aid ellipse. "Rectangular" means here that both of the ellipse's half-axes are at right angles to one another.

The center point of the ellipse can be entered with the mouse by clicking at any point in the drawing.

The point on the frame surrounding the ellipse can be entered with the mouse by clicking anywhere in the drawing.

The ellipse rotation angle can be entered with the mouse by clicking anywhere in the drawing. The position of this point relative to the center point determines the rotation angle. You can also enter an angle directly into a dialog. This determines the ellipse's rotation angle.

A rectangular ellipse is stored internally as a distorted ellipse. They can be further rotated or distorted later.
