Ellipses not recognized as entities using break out segment

Post by Brianparramore » Thu Jun 30, 2016 3:18 pm

When I create an ellipse, then need to break out a portion, the break out segment tool doesn't work on the ellipse. To get around it, I create the ellipse, then trace over it using the arc 3 points tool, then delete the ellipse.

The too Modify > Break out Segment should work fine on ellipses (QCAD Professional, latest version).

If you need any further help, please indicate your QCAD version and attach the drawing file you are working on.
