    Ellipse trim bug?

    File in CF.

    What I'm trying to do is set up a sketch with ellipse and radial lines for
    projection to new sketches which will be elliptical segments. The radials are
    projected, an ellipse sketched using the radials and then trimmed. When
    trimmed the ellipse segment goes red (can't solve constraints?).

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I'm probably not interpreting what you are doing correctly, but I patterned
    some radial lines, made an ellipse on one and trimmed it. Offset a couple of
    workplanes and projected successive lines to them drawing and trimming the
    ellipses and didn't see any errors. If you want to post what it is you're
    trying to do exactly, I could see what I misunderstood.

    Oh ... it was already there. I didn't get the same result. Mine trimmed
    okay. See CF.

    I opened your file in the RTM build, and the ellipse segment was green.
