I still disagree. The reason the "center method does not work" in an isocircle is precisely because it "is drawn with reference to a specified center only," which is why there's no point in having Center as an option within the Isocircle option, because the center basis is automatic. And there's no point in having the Isocircle option within the Center option, because you get the Center option automatically from the Isocircle option. Therefore the center method does work, being the only method for an isocircle -- it just doesn't work as an option within the Isocircle option, because there is no need for such a thing. And if the Center option had within it an Isocircle option, someone else would probably be complaining that it's requiring an unnecessary extra step from them.
You seem to be expecting an icon containing a macro that is specifically built to start the Ellipse command and call for the Center option to work in the same way as one that merely starts the Ellipse command. The one that calls itself "Ellipse Axis End" is really that -- it's just the plain Ellipse command, and doesn't call for any particular option, which is why you can do so yourself. It's misleading to say that it 'does allow in the "axis, end" method,' because in fact that's not a "method," but just the basic command. You could fault them, I suppose, for labeling it in a way that suggests it is a limited-possibilities method, but you can just change the label on it to say simply "Ellipse." If you're looking for an icon you can pick on and then give it the Isocircle option, use that -- it will be exactly the same operationally as if the "Ellipse Center" icon left you in a place where you had an Isocircle option.
In any case, you can have one that works in whatever way you like -- that ready customizability is one of the great things about AutoCAD. There's no way they could pre-define macros and icons incorporating every imaginable combination of commands and options, so they have made a few of the possibilities, and you can make your own that call up whatever combinations you would use often enough to want menu items for. Have you tried any of my earlier suggestions yet?
