Ellipse, hatch and move commands

Ellipse (EL)
ELLIPSE Draws ellipses C Allows specification of Center point of ellipse rather than first axis endpoint.

R Allows specification of eccentricity rotation rather than length of second axis.
I draws Isometric circle in current isoplane
Move (M)
Moves selected entities to another location.
The following prompts are displayed.
Select objects
Specify base point or [Displacement]
Specify second point or <use first point as displacement>:
The two points you specify define a vector that indicates how far the selected objects are to be moved and in what
direction.
If you press Enter at the Specify Second Point prompt, the first point is interpreted as a relative X,Y,Z displacement.
For example, if you specify 2,3 for the base point and press Enter at the next prompt, the objects move 2 units
in the X direction and 3 units in the Y direction from their current position. Displacement Enter coordinates to
represent a vector
The coordinate values that you enter specify a relative distance and direction.
Hatch (H)
Allows drawing of cross-hatching and pattern filling <pattern-name> uses hatch pattern name from library file to fill
designated area with a pseudo-block hatch entity - can be reduced to individual lines and points by EXPLODEing
it. <*pattern-name> uses hatch pattern name from library file to fill designated area with individual lines and points,
not a block U “User-defined” hatch pattern drawn of parallel lines with a specified distance between, at a specified
angle, and either single-hatching or double (cross) - hatching (Fig 1).
