- ANGLE allows you to to determine the direction of a
- tangent vector by setting the angle between the tangent
- vector and the positive x axis.
-
- 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, from
- which the new line is to be created.
-
- With the line limits switch set to FUNCTN, the new line is
- the same length as the reference line. With the line
- limits switch is 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 that
- passes through the designated endpoint of the reference
- line. The reference line is projected to this plane and
- the new line is created in this plane.
