Part Ellipse

Description
This command will create a elliptical curved edge. With the default values, the elliptical curved edge will be closed and therefore will be an ellipse. If the properties Angle 1 or Angle 2 are changed from their default values (0 and 360) the edge will be an open curve.

Usage

 * 1) Switch to the [[Image:Workbench_Part.svg|24px]] Part Workbench
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button.

Properties

 * Major radius: the major radius of the ellipse, the default value is 4
 * Minor radius: the minor radius of the ellipse, the default value is 2
 * Angle0: start of the edge of the ellipse or elliptical curved edge, (degrees anti-clockwise), the default value is 0
 * Angle1: end of the edge of the ellipse or elliptical curved edge, (degrees anti-clockwise), the default value is 360

Scripting
A Part Ellipse can be created with the following function:


 * Where is the name for the object.
 * The function returns the newly created object.

You can access and modify attributes of the object.

The name of the object can be easily changed by

For example, you may wish to modify the two radii and angles of the ellipse.

The result will be a part of an ellipse.

You can change its placement and orientation with:
