Adding a Floating Line of a Specified Length to a Curve End

Product Documentation
Intermediate

Adds a floating line, with a specified length, to the end of a curve.

The direction of the attachment curve (1) determines the line direction.

This type of entity always starts at the end of the entity it is attached to. The line is always tangent to the end of a fixed or floating curve. Unlike an entity where the location is defined by a pass-through point, this type of entity is not pinned to a location in the drawing. Therefore, the entity geometry moves with the entity to which it is attached.

To add a floating line (from curve end, length)

  1. Click the alignment. Click Alignment tabModify panelGeometry Editor.
  2. On the Alignment Layout Tools toolbar, click Floating Line (From Curve End, Length).
  3. Select the end of the curve to which you want to add the floating line.
  4. Specify a length by picking two points in the drawing, or by entering a length value on the command line.
