Creating Ellipses
Creating Ellipses
RevWorks creates ellipses from a set of six or more digitized points. If you collect six or more points, RevWorks applies an averaging algorithm to calculate the best ellipse through the data.
To Create an Ellipse
-
From the RevWorks toolbar, select
,
or select Ellipse from the RevWorks menu in SOLIDWORKS.
RevWorks prompts you to begin digitizing points.
-
Digitize a minimum of six points, or digitize more points to generate a greater precision ellipse.
Note: RevWorks automatically creates the ellipse feature once you digitize the maximum number of points.
-
If you collect more than six points, but less than the maximum number of points for an ellipse, select
or another completion option to calculate the feature.
RevWorks generates an ellipse from the collected data and draws it on the active SOLIDWORKS sketch plane.
