Generation of Conic Section → Ellipse (Autodesk Inventor 2018 Tutorial)
In mathematics, a conic section (or simply conic) is a curve obtained as the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse; the circle is a special case of the ellipse, though historically it was sometimes called a fourth type. At the end of this video, we will show how to rotate a sketch of the ellipse to create an Ellipsoid by using the Revolve tool.

If we check out the revolve tool there is no direct option available to create a feature from a start point to an end point. To do such operation the key points snap and revolve to symmetric and non-symmetric extents option should be used. I found this way while working on a previous tutorial named Sliding Latch of Door (Solid Edge Tutorial). Check out the video to understand everything in detail.
