To Create Lines by Sideshot

After defining the reference line, specify an angle and distance to the points that will define the line segment. From the reference line (1-2) and start point (2), specify points (3, 4, 5).

1. Click Home tabDraw panelLine drop-downCreate Line By Side Shot Find.
2. Specify a temporary reference line by doing one of the following:
   • Select a line.
   • Enter Points, or P, and then specify a start point and endpoint for the line.

   The following prompt is displayed:

   Specify angle or [Counter-clockwise/Bearing/Deflection/aZimuth]:
   

3. Enter an angle by doing one of the following:
   • Enter an angle in angular units for the drawing.
   • Enter Quadrant Bearing, or B, and then specify the angle by specifying a quadrant and a quadrant bearing.
   • Enter Deflection, or D, then specify a deflection angle.
   • Enter Whole Circle Bearing, or Z, and then specify a whole circle bearing.
   • Enter C to switch the direction of the angle between clockwise and counterclockwise.
4. Specify a distance by either clicking in the drawing or entering a distance.
5. Continue to specify angles and distances to define line segments. Or presss Enter to return to the Line command prompt where you can use additional options to define the line.
