EDITING A LINE


Andrew Mac

Recommended Posts

type "-.625" in the x (for a horizontal line), y (for a vertical line), or length (in polar mode, for a diagonal line) field of the OIP, after the amount already shown there?

In your example, the x, y, or L field would read: 10'0"-.625

There's no way to use the cursor cues to achieve this that I know of, if that's what you're after (other than typing the new completed length, or the arithmatic that gets there).

Other ways to achieve this are:

-->selecting the 2d reshape tool, lassooing the end point, and using the move command.

-->drawing a line perpendicular to the line in question, double-clicking your key for the offset tool to bring up the options, entering .625 or 5/8, offsetting the line, and using it to trim the "main" line, and then deleting the trimmed line and the offset line(s).

-->draw a circle or arc starting with the center at the lines endpoint, in the OIP enter .625 for the radius, and use the circle or arc to trim the line. Delete the trimmed end and circle or arc when finished.

...and on and on.
