Construct Line at Active Angle

Use it!

Used to construct a line that intersects a line segment (line or segment of a line string or shape) at the Active Angle.

Tool SettingEffect
Method

Sets when the intersection is defined.

  • From Point
    • — The intersection is defined when the element being intersected is identified (step 2).
  • To Point
    • — The intersection is defined by the second data point, as shown in step 3.
Active Angle

Sets the angle, measured counter-clockwise from the intersected line segment, at which the line is constructed.

Length

If on, the length is constrained to the value that is keyed in the field.

To construct a line that intersects a line segment at the Active Angle
  1. Select the Construct Line at Active Angle tool.

  2. Identify the element to intersect.
    If the Method is From Point, this data point defines the intersection.

  3. Enter a data point.
    If Length is off, this data point defines the length.
    If the Method is To Point, this data point defines the intersection.
