To Create Lines by Specifying Angles

The first sequence of prompts is for establishing a temporary reference line for measuring the angle. From the reference line (1-2), specify an angle (3), and distance (4), to specify a point (5).

1. Click Home tabDraw panelLine drop-downCreate Line By Angle Find.
2. Specify a temporary reference line for the angle by doing one of the following:
   • Select a line.
   • Enter Points, or P, and then specify a start point and endpoint for the line.
3. Specify the angle by doing one of the following:
   • Click in the drawing to specify the angle.
   • Enter a positive or negative numeric value for the angle.
   • Enter C to switch the angle between counterclockwise and clockwise, and then specify the angle.
4. Specify the distance by either clicking in the drawing or entering a distance.
5. Specify an ending point.

   This concludes the specification of the temporary reference line. Subsequent prompts for angles and distances are then used to define the line segments.

6. Enter angles and distances to define line segments. You can then press Enter to return to the Line command prompt where you can use additional options to define the line.
