Problems creating non horizontal parallel lines
Problems creating non horizontal parallel lines
(OP)
Hi,
I am a recent Draftsight user and am struggling to create parallel lines at angles away from the horizontal x axis. I am looking to use these parallel lines to form construction lines to use for my drawing. I was able to create parallel lines using the ortho function, but this only works for lines in the x or y direction. Is there a way to use the parallel function for lines at an angle?
Currently I've been using trig to work out each coordinate, but this is very time consuming!
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Thanks!
Lisa

Good luck,

I couldn't get the offset function to work with an infinite line, but it works with a standard line.
Thanks for your help :)
