I am fairly new here. I can't find a clear answer online. I need to draw an ellipse and fill it with a solid fill. I've been drawing a circle/ellipse. This works fine. Then I selected the fill tool with solid fill. With a magic wand I clicked inside the ellipse. The fill takes the shape of a circle????? I tried to reshape the circle fill to no avail. My goal is to have a small ellipse with a solid fill to represent a bead of caulking/sealant for detailing purposes. Can somebody kindly show me how easy it is to do this? Thank you. Grant

Go to the Magic Wand Settings... and change it from Deviation from Curves toSegments Along Circles , this will create a polygon that follows the ellipse shape.
