In this section, we will discuss what ellipses are, how to define them, and how to make them in SOLIDWORKS. We will also touch on the idea of construction lines. We can look at an ellipse as a combination of two axes and five points, as shown in the following image:
When we define an ellipse in SOLIDWORKS, we can use the four points and the center as our defining factors. We can also define an ellipse with the help of construction lines, which we can use to define the size and the location of the ellipse. To illustrate this, we will sketch the following ellipse:
Similar to all our other exercises, ...
