Michael,
Yes a circle that I want placed diagonaly. I can rotate it after drawing of course, but with the elipse I can set the angle whilst creating. Whereas a circle must be perpendicular to whichever window/axis its created in.
It's no big deal. Just a way to drop it in as you want it and avoid a rotate sequence, ala the ellipse. In my screengrab I've just drawn an ellipse and a circle but the ellipse is able to be positioned as shown in the creation.
Cheers
