Looking for an ellipse tool

Postby RogerS » 28 Mar 2021, 17:23

But one compatible with SU Make v 17.3.116

I can find one in the Warehouse but it wants me to upgrade to the new version of SU (which costs money IIRC)

Not being a regular user, if I needed an ellipse, I might try drawing the rectangle that it was to fit in, and doesn't the circle tool squidge to make eclipses?

Not in the electronic realm but if you are making ellipses, I have an Archemeides trammel for use with a router that lets you set both long and short axis (goes to 1m radius) to make true ellipses. I can give you that for doing the do when you pop up to mine to get the window ovals if you want Roger
