Measuring an oval

k_koderak_kodera Member Posts: 9

How can I create an oval in Onshape with a specific inside dimension?
A circle is easy, but I don't know the formula for an oval.

    Use the Ellipse tool and enter the dimensions in the boxes that appear after clicking to create the oval. Otherwise use the Dimension tool. - Scotty

    If you need an oval (as opposed to an ellipse, for which you can use the ellipse tool), you may want to try the "Slot" tool. Based on a straight centerline, it will create an oval by dimensioned offset.
