Parameter Requires the same input as Start Angle, but creates the elliptical
arc using the following parametric vector equation:
p(u) = c + a * cos(u) + b * sin(u)
where c is the center of the ellipse and a and b are its major and minor axes,
respectively.
 End Parameter: Defines the end angle of the elliptical arc by using a
parametric vector equation. The Start Parameter option toggles from Angle
mode to Parameter mode. The mode controls how the ellipse is calculated.
 Angle: Defines the end angle of the elliptical arc. The Angle option toggles
from Parameter mode to Angle mode. The mode controls how the ellipse
is calculated.
 Included Angle: Defines an included angle beginning at the start angle.
Center
Creates an ellipse using a center point, the endpoint of the first axis, and the
length of the second axis. You can specify the distances by clicking a location
at the desired distance or by entering a value for the length.
Distance to Other Axis Defines the second axis as the distance from the center
of the ellipse, or midpoint of the first axis, to the point you specify.
Rotation Creates the ellipse by appearing to rotate a circle about the first axis.
Move the crosshairs around the center of the ellipse and click. If you enter a
value, the higher the value, the greater the eccentricity of the ellipse. Entering
0 defines a circle.
