In isometric drawing, we often need to construct tangents to two ellipses... Is there a method to exactly draw lines tangent to two ellipses?

Can you give me an example? Or, have you gotten the answer to your question? I've been trying to think of use-cases. Is it like when you're showing the depth of something in isometric?
