Maybe a silly question, but how can I add an elips in a polyline? I've tried pedit --> join but I get the message that only arc circel or line can be added. Trying to explode the elips doesn't work out.
ellipse is actually a spline. you must trace over it with polylines or arcs.. I use divide and set my spaces pretty close then set my Osnap on node & go. HTH Rob
You can't use a true ellipse. Instead, set PELLIPSE to 1 to force AutoCAD to approximate your ellipse with a polyline; you can then trim, PEDIT, etc. to your heart's content. ___
Try to use boundary. Draw the ellipse, draw your pline, than make a new boundary and it wil create a region. It's not a polyline but if you need it for hatching it works.

I copeid the bit after "(defun...." into notepad and saved it of as an *.lsp I loaded the lsp into acadwin.
I type convspl at the command line, it promtps me to select something, which I do (an ellipse) it I press enter and it exits the routine. Nothing has happened. What am I doing wrong?
Wouldn't it be easier to follow Pauls suggestion and draw the ellipse while PELLIPSE = 1? So you get a pline and can join it to other lines/polylines/arcs.
