The EW command defines and edges a wedge using the current pen, line type and attributes. The EW command includes an automatic pen down. When the command execution is complete, the original pen location and up/down status are restored.

The only difference between the EW command and the WG (Fill Wedge) command is that the EW command produces an outlined wedge, and the WG command, a filled one.

Always use isotropic scaling in drawings that contain wedges unless you wish the wedges to “stretch” with changes in the aspect ratio of the drawing (causing elliptical wedges). For more information, refer to the discussion of scaling and the Scale (SC) command description in Chapter 19.
