Oval


Ovals (or elipises) are defined by their center, length and width of their "X" and "Y" axis.

The example to the left shows the contents of the Graphic Details Drawer when a rectangle is selected. To view this information use the Show Item Details menu command found on the Tools menu of the Main menu.

To show the information for a Oval on a drawing, the drawer must be open and the Oval must be selected. The Oval of interest must be the only item selected.

The coordinates for the top center are shown in the numeric text boxes labeled "X" and "Y". The location of the Oval may be checked in this manner or the Oval may be moved by entering a new value for either coordinate.

The length (X dimension) and height (Y dimension) of the major and minor axes of the Oval are shown in the numeric text boxes. The Oval's size may be checked in this manner or changed by entering the new value in the text box.

These lengths are shown in the Units (cm, inches, points, ...) defined for the document on the Scale parameter panel. Each coordinate is the distance from the origin which is defined on the Scale panel and may be adjusted by dragging a Ruler.
