Default creating an ellipse with a fixed perimeter

First of all thanks to Andy for the previous question. Now, I am trying to make an ellipse but I need to define the perimeter. Is it possible?

Default Re: creating an ellipse with a fixed perimeter

You'll need to do a calculation to find the diameter. Then you can make an ellipse and use the control panel size-to to resize it.

It will still be an approximation because the ellipse will be made of lines and the number of lines depends on the number of segments entered. The higher the number, the more 'round' it will look.
