Andrew,
In an attempt to create the ellipses with a NaN length mentioned in FS#2693.
The toString() text of an REllipse states start- and endAngle.
That are in fact the start- and endParameter.
One can alter the Start and End Parameter properties of an ellipse entity when selected.
But one can not alter the Start and End Angle properties.
In such a case these properties would be grayed, disabled like the Length property.
On the other hand:
Changing Start and End Angle properties could be supported.
For an REllipse we can set these:
- REllipse::setStartAngle(a)
- REllipse::setEndAngle(a)
Regards,

I can read in REllipseEntity::setProperty that changing the start and End Angle are handled differently than setting one of the REllipse members because angles are no members.
setEndAngle(a) would set endParam if angleToParam doesn't return NaN.
