well I am sure you are right. But ovals and ellipses? Doesn't answer my question - right?

An ellipse is defined using two fixed points and a distance; the outline of the shape is those points which have the exact same sum of distances from each of the two fixed points.

Most ovals are NOT ellipses.

Easy enough to find with a Google search - example: https://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-ellipse-and-vs-oval/

As far as I can tell the only way to make sure you are drawing an ellipse with the ellipse tool is to constrain it into a circle.

A circle is always an ellipse, but an ellipse is not always a circle (a circle is an ellipse with both fixed points being the same point).

Similarly, an ellipse is always an oval, but an oval is not always an ellipse.

You can get these functions in the context bar (View/Customise Toolbar):

I don't believe that option currently exists, except for a few specific cases such as converting an oval (misnamed as an ellipse - an ellipse is a very specific mathematical shape and most of what is created with the "ellipse" tool in the Affinity programs are not ellipses at all) into a pie/donut.

Thanks, but I looking to "convert form"

Hi, great job. I am missing the pathfinder to convert a shape in another. E.G. from the rectangle to the circle?
