Hello
 
I'm a beginner whit autocad now I would like to place text on a ellips
Can some tell me how

You can use [CMD]ARCTEXT[/CMD] from Express Tools.

thank you for email
I have tryed but it didn't work

Oh, sorry this comand it's just for arc. I'll recomned convert your ellips to polyline or arc, if it's possible and try command again, please. PepaR2008-11-09 20:33:02

thank you for the information but could you tell me how, because I'm just a beginner

Hi Collin,
 
You can't actually covert an ellipse to a polyline or arc. I would suggest just drawing a reference arc over your ellipse using snaps.
1. Type A, space to start the arc command.
2. using osnap nearest (shift right-click for osnap menu) select the first point of the arc on your ellipse.
3. pick the midpoint of the arc (osnap quadrant will give you the midpoint of the ellipse axis)
4. pick the end of the arc using osnap nearest again.
5. use arctext to create your text and then delete the arc.
 
Note: ellipses aren't very versitile objects given their limited use and the limited variables in their form.

thank you for the information
 
I gonna try this out
I let you know
