Changing the Direction of an Ellipse

You can construct an ellipse with a reversed vector.

To change the direction of a ellipse:

1. Open the Construct Ellipse dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Ellipse).

2. From the Method list, select the Reverse option.

3. From the Feature list, select one feature. It must be an ellipse.

4. Select the In or Out option. For details, see the "In / Out Ellipse" topic in this documentation.

5. If you want to change the feature theoretical values, select the Feature theoreticals check box and type in the values. For details, see the "Specifying Feature Theoreticals" topic in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.

6. Click the Create button.

The Edit window command line for this option would read:
