Ellipse
System variable PELLIPSE controls the type of newly created ellipses.
The variable value PELLIPSE = 0 creates a true ellipse.
The variable value PELLIPSE = 1 creates a 2D polyline representation of ellipse from arc segments.

3. Upon the command line prompt: Specify axis endpoint of ellipse or [Arc/Center/Isocircle]: - select Isocircle.
Command prompts
|
Specify center of isocircle: |
Specify center of isocircle. |
|
Specify radius of isocircle or [Diameter] : |
Specify the value of semi-axis or select Diameter and specify its value. |
Isoarc
1. Enable the isometric mode.
2. Select the Elliptical Arc 
Command.
When selecting the Arc option in the universal command in response to the command line prompt: Specify axis endpoint of ellipse or [Arc/Center/Isocircle]: - select Arc
Command prompts
|
