Document Summary
The polygon tool allows you to easily sketch multi-sided enclosed sketch geometry. Solidworks creates a construction circle to control the. The ellipse tool allows you to easily sketch and edit ellipses and their two major axes. Click and drag and release, and then drag and. Repeat the two steps mentioned in the previous video, and then click and drag to start drawing the ellipse. Stop when you have the partial ellipse you want. To create a parabola, first place the focus and then drag to. First click the focus point, click and drag to define vertex, and then click to mark the beginning of the parabola and draw out the shape. The first two clicks define the endpoints. Second click for the vertex, and then last click defines the radius (rho) of the cone shape. Can also define rho, etc in the feature manager. Make vertex tangent to both endpoints (like above) is an example.
