2. Construct a circle. Select point C and point A in turn, select [Construction]-[Draw a circle with the center and points on the circumference] command, and draw a circle C with point C as the center and passing through point A.

3. Construct the vertical line and intersection point. Select [Point Tool], make any point D on the circle, select point D and line segment AB, select [Construction]-[Perpendicular Line] command, draw the perpendicular line of line segment AB, and the intersection point with line segment AB is E.

4. Hide circles and straight lines. Select the circle C and the straight line DE, select the [Display]-[Hide Path Object] command to hide the circle C and the straight line DE.

5. Construct line segments and midpoints. Select the [Line Segment Tool] and draw the line segment DE. Select the [Construction]-[Midpoint] command to draw the midpoint F of the line segment DE.

6. Draw an ellipse. Select point D and point F in turn, select the [Construction]-[Trajectory] command to draw an ellipse. As shown below.

7. Hidden points and line segments. Select point D, point E, point F, and line segment DE, select the [Show]-[Hide Object] command, and the ellipse drawing is completed.
