Circle/Ellipse fill

Problem 1: Creating a circle fill is a two step process - draw a circle, magic wand a fill into it. 

 

Solution 1: Create a circle geometry method for fills.

 

Problem 1A*: Creating an ellipse fill is impossible (as far as I can see). When using the magic wand to fill in an ellipse, it offers you a circle instead (see screenshot).

 

Solution 1A: Allow the magic wand to create ellipses, or better yet, in the new circle geometry method (see above) give a drop down that allows for all the existing circle geometry methods.

 

*Update: I have discovered that I can magic wand an ellipse in model space, but not on a layout. So 1A only applies to layouts.

I agree problem 1 and 1A could be solved with a circle and ellipse geometry method for placing fills.

 

Problem 1A - I have no issues magic wanding a fill onto an ellipse - either by perimeter of flooding area.

I am on a Windows system and just checked version 22 and 28.

@Barry, regarding the Magic Wand - that's interesting. I went back and found that in model space, I can magic wand an ellipse in both version 26 and 27, but on a layout it only offers a circle. Strange...
