# Using Ellipse Annotations

You can paste ellipse annotations. Ellipse annotations can be pasted with the following styles: outline-only, filled, or transparent.
Procedure
1.
Select ellipse annotation from the [Tool] menu or the ellipse annotation button in the annotation toolbar in Viewer. For example, select [Ellipse/Frame: Red 3pt/Fill: None] from [1 Basic].
The cursor changes to the shape of cross.
2.
If the tool is configured so that the shape is determined at the time of pasting, drag the cursor to determine the size of the ellipse.
If the tool is configured so that a predefined shape of line is pasted, click to paste it.

## Changing the properties

Using the [Ellipse Properties] dialog box or the property toolbar, you can change the color and width of the line and the fill settings of an ellipse after pasting it.
