It looks like that will not work. Posting to this forum is not very user friendly.

I just uploaded ELLIPSES_WITH_DEGREE-3 [in the same Mechanical/Other category], explaining how I drew the left instance in the original image, purely in 2D construction.

Dery you can find the AutoCAD file in the CAD/BIM Blocks library here in the site. Take a look on the top left of your screen and you will find it under : CADForum Home , CAD Discussion , Tips & Tricks , Downloads , CAD/BIM Blocks and here you are... By the way "1" There are a LOT of very interesting AutoCAD files there and with a search by names you will find nearly everything that you want. By the way "2" Have you done your searches and tests on the subject that is suposed to be a student's home work ?

Also, right in the home page, as of today it's still recent enough that you'll find it in the "New CAD Blocks" box. Once it passes out of there, the CAD/BIM Blocks item on the left has categories -- go to AutoCAD DWG Blocks / Mechanical / Other.

Hello Kent, I have uploaded an updated file : ELLIPSES WITH DEGREE-01B.dwg showing the 2 cubes elaborated by you in pure 2D and me a flatshot of a 3D solid and it shows a little difference in the X dimension ( the other Y and Z being = 50 ). See at the bottom right of the file. In fact all the discussion is about these X , Y , Z dimensions...

That's because the 20- or 25-degree "rotation" of the Ellipses on the top and right faces of my drawn-all-in-2D "cubes" are arbitrary round-figure approximations that look sort of close to what the real appearance would be. Your Flatshot version, coming from a real 3D cube viewed at the right angle to get the 10- and 40-degree angles for the base edges, results in a true rotation of those Ellipses of about 22.622 degrees. Presumably if I went through the process using that, instead of the approximated 20 or 25, it would match yours on the other edge length.

Hi guys, I have a problem opening the CAD/BIM blocks you already uploaded using my AutoCAD2014. Are you sure that you already save the file so that it can be opened using AutoCAD2014? It cannot be opened using my AutoCAD2014. Please help me.
