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

- 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.
- 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.
- Specify the distance by either clicking in the drawing or entering a distance.
- 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.
- 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.
