xline command

xline command

xline command

(OP)
How can i create a vertical and horz xline
at the same time

i have tryed
^C^C_xline H;^C^C_xline v

but with no results

RE: xline command

Try ^C^C_xline H @0,0;^C^C_xline v @0,0

RE: xline command

(OP)
thanks
works great
But anyway to get it to work off of a current point ?

RE: xline command

What point do you want?
@0,0 is "nowhere" from the last point.
If you did ^C^C_xline H pause;^C^C_xline v @0,0 it would prompt you for a point then use the same point.

RE: xline command

(OP)
^C^C_xline H pause;^C^C_xline V @0,0
When i use this line all i get is a horz line

^C^C_xline H @0,0;^C^C_xline V @0,0
when i use this it draws a horz at the
last point and prompts me for a vert point

I must be doing something wrong ????

RE: xline command

Try this using a space to repeat
the last command. Works at the
command line, but you can give it
a tryon a macro.

^C^C_xline H pause; V @0,0;

RE: xline command

Hi rwbaker,

I have annother approach: Insert a block, and explode it...

Edit a "crossline.dwg"
-> put it in Your folder
->make a butten: ^C^C_-insert;"Your Folder/crossline.dwg";\;;;_xplode;l;;;
-> ready

naujoke
that did exactly what i needed

Hey is ther anyway to work off of cursor location

like on the offset command
our current cadsystem works off of which
line is nearest to the cursor and just offsets a
construction line at whatever dim you tell it
