LOL ;-) No way. Anything beyond simple rotates/translates and I reach for my copy of
Colefax's AutoClck.mcr. I've forgotten most of the mathematics I learnt at school, and
thinking through problems such as this turns my brain to mush in about 5 seconds flat.

I think that when this problem is solved, offering the ability to roll any ellipse (
even
a morphing one ), an extremely usefull macro could be constructed.

Thanks Josh and Steve for your efforts.

Andrew
