- ANGLE allows you to create a line entity at a given angle
- from an existing line.
-
- Enter an angular value (in degrees) and press <Enter>. The
- rotation angle that you specify is relative to the
- construction-view z axis. A positive angle indicates a
- counter-clockwise rotation about the construction-view z
- axis, when that axis is pointing toward you.
-
- Select a reference line near the desired endpoint.
-
- Using the Position Menu, select a position where you want
- to put the angled line.
-
- With the line limits switch set to FUNCTN, the new line is
- the same length as the reference line. With the line
- limits switch set to VIEWPORT, the new line extends to the
- limits of the screen display.
-
- In 2-D construction mode, the reference line is projected
- to the current construction plane, and the new line is
- created in the current construction plane.
-
- In 3-D construction mode, the system locates a plane that
- is parallel to the current construction plane and creates
- the new line in this plane.
