Creating concentric ellipse

Hi
I'm trying to create concentric ellipse. I'll fess up to using Fireworks 8 ( don't flame me), and I figured at least in this small area it probably wasn't much different to Photoshop.

I use the alt key to make the ellipse concentric, and I don't know if it's just me, but, while they have the same centre, they don't appear to be an equal distance apart all the way around.

Is there a workaround to this problem? I've included a gif image to demo my problem.

Cheers

Yes, that is correct.

It shrinks at an even ratio, so the spacing difference between the top/ bottom and sides is expected.

The distance would only be equal if it was a perfect circle.

There is no workaround (other than possibly transforming, which wouldn't be exact, and Fireworks might not be capable).

Actually, I just thought of something, try making the image of the main oval. Then duplicate it, and resize it (in a new image if you have to), then paste it and align it over the original oval. That should do it...

Although, the lines will not be the same size... there is really no other work around.

Thanks - used a primitve method plus yuor suggestion to improve the look.

Thanks
