Ellipses

[jrmach]

Ellipses are now 1 entity (spline) unless you check box to break into arcs.

That should make for a better tool path (eliminate faceting),,am I right ?

less code

What other benefits ?

I know Burr has been asking for more enhancements for splines,,looks like they listened yes/no ?

I don't think it affects the toolpath too much. The previous ellipse was not "faceted".. It was tangential....

I think it will definitely help the modeling... When creating surfaces there will be less surface edges, which easily interfere with "filleting" and other Booleans later down the road...

Getting rid of all that segmentation is a good thing.....
