Drawing Capillaries and Die Bonding Tools ( Semiconductor Bonding Tool)

I know I should not include this topic because I can imagine that this will not be very useful to other discipline of AutoCAD users because mostly, Architectural and Civil engineering have the most user of AutoCAD.

Although it’s not that hard to draw an ellipse, where the shape is just an oblong or an oval, the orientation is confusing if you will not first know where is the major or the minor axis. Just to illustrate, see below (Fig. 1): Continue reading →
