1 Create a circle, then use Transform/Curve/Scale to stretch it in one
direction.
The easiest way to create an ellipse is with the Utilities menu of Patra
n. Utilities--Geometry--Create curve by function.
Example : If you want to create an ellipse with a=110 and b=90 your eq
uation will be: Y = SQ:RT(90**2*(1-(`X**2/110**2)))
