Then come over here to the ellipse drop-down. Notice we have a regular ellipse, we have a partial ellipse, a parabola, as well as a conic. So let's go ahead and start with the ellipse. So you want to pretty much start right where you want the center of that ellipse to be, drag out your major radius and then again, your minor radius, so you can define that by just kind of dragging it around. Once you got the shape you're looking for, go ahead and just click and now you've got that shape. Now you can click on the end points here to kind of move things around and rotate them.
