Draw ellipses

  1. Select the Ellipse tool .
  2. Do one of the following:

    • Drag diagonally until the ellipse is the desired size.

    • Click where you want the top-left corner of the ellipse’s bounding box to be. Specify a width and height for the ellipse, and click OK.

      Note: To create a circle, hold down the Shift key while dragging, or if you are specifying dimensions, once you’ve entered a Width value you can click on the word Height to copy that value into the Height box.
