This tool allows you to draw a line at an equal distance between two points. By definition, the line is created at right angles to an imaginary line joining the two points. The line may be of specified length, or may be a construction line.
Construction Line - determines if the line is to be a construction line or drawn in the current palette.
Line Length - this is the length of the lines to be drawn. You can either enter the required length on the edit bar or use the Nudge keys to adjust the length interactively.
Line Mode - this determines how the line length value is used.
- Line Length - the line length will be used as the Line Length value.
- X-Offset - the X distance of the line will be as the Line Length value
- Y-Offset - the Y distance of the line will be as the Line Length value
Line Position - this is the position of the cursor on the new line.
- Bottom/Left - the cursor position will be to the bottom or to the left.
- Centre - the cursor position will be central.
- Top/Right - the cursor position will be to the top or to the right.
Select the Edit Bar options then pick the first point then the second point, the new line will be drawn bisecting these picked points.
