Straight Construction Line at Arbitrary Angle

The mode of creating lines passing at arbitrary angles can be activated using the following automenu option of the Line command:

<L>

Select related Line

This mode is active by default upon calling the command, except cases, where other modes are called directly from the ribbon.

The mode allows following methods of line creation:

•Parallel, through Node

•Parallel, Using Distance

•Parallel, Tangent to Curve

•Through Two Nodes

•Through Node, at Angle to Horizontal

•Through Node, at Angle to Other Line

•Through Node, Normal to Other Line

•Through Node, Tangent to Curve

•Tangent to Curve, at Angle to Other Line

•Tangent to Two Curves

Upon entering the mode, full starting set of the Line command's automenu options is initially available. Upon selecting a first source object for creating a line, the set of available options changes depending on the type of the selected object.

Following options are available, upon selecting a 2D node:

	<P>	Set Line Parameters
