All my circles in my drawing all turn to ellipses

Hi All,

I was just drawing away, and when I looked up all the circles in the drawing had turn to ellipses. I must have

entered a wrong command at some point while I was looking away. I hit regen a few times but to no avail.

Also one more thing, when I use the trim, extend and erase commands, it only does what's in the drawing window

where as before, it did all the trims, extends and erases all that is highlighted.

Any help in any of these questions would be much appreciated

Thanks,

David Shepherd

select one and see if in fact they are ellipses and not circles with an odd aspect ratio.

Did you shift out of plan view? You might have accidentally touched Shift while panning by pressing the mouse wheel, which would take you into viewing from some direction other than just straight above.

PLAN command, accept current as default.

Thanks for your quick response to my Cadd question.
It was suggested that I try the "PLAN" command which I did
and that corrected the Problem.
