Figure 28: Add Commands dialog
Note
The icon used to open the Circles and Ovals toolbar is still called Ellipse and is not
to be confused with the Ellipse icon that is one of the default tools placed on the left
of the Drawing toolbar.
The new Circles and Ovals (Ellipse) icon appears on the Drawing toolbar with a small
triangle to the right of it. Click on this triangle to open the Circles and Ovals toolbar (Figure 26). To
make this toolbar into a floating toolbar, drag the toolbar onto the workspace area. The Circles
and Ovals icon on the Drawing toolbar always indicates the last tool used and may not be the
same as the Circles and Ovals icon shown above.
To help prevent any confusion, you can remove the standard Ellipse icon from the Drawing
toolbar by opening the Customize dialog (Figure 27) and deselecting the first Ellipse command in
the Commands list. Alternatively, select the first Ellipse command, click Modify > Delete to
remove the Ellipse icon from the Drawing toolbar.
To return the Drawing toolbar to its default settings, open the Customize dialog, select the Circles
and Ovals (Ellipse) icon, then click Modify > Delete to remove the icon from the Drawing toolbar.
Arcs or segments
1) To draw an arc or segment, select the appropriate icon in the Circles and Ovals toolbar
(Figure 26).
2) Click and drag with the cursor to create a guide circle or ellipse.
3) Move the cursor to the position where you want the arc or segment to start. The status bar
indicates the angle in degrees.
4) Click to start drawing the arc or segment, then move the cursor to create the arc or
segment. The status bar shows the angle in degrees.
