Add a Construction Grid Through a Point at an Angle
To add a construction grid through a point:
- Select the Point-Angle option.
- Type 0.0 for the offset distance.
- Type an angle at which to add the construction grid.
- Click Add. The dialog box will disappear and the plus cursor will appear which only moves between snap-to points.
- Click on a point, and crossing guide lines that indicate the angle will appear.
- Click in the quadrant through which the construction grid should be drawn.
The construction grid will be drawn on screen when completed. Note that if the angle is either 0 or 90 degrees, it is not necessary to perform Step 6; the grid will be created immediately when the point is selected in Step 5.
To add a construction grid at an offset from a point:
- Select the Point-Angle option.
- Type an offset distance from the point at which to add the construction grid.
- Type an angle at which to add the construction grid.
- Click Add. The dialog box will disappear and the plus cursor will appear which only moves between snap-to points.
- Click on a point, and a set of four crossing guide lines that indicate the offset and angle will appear (note that only two parallel guide lines will appear if the angle is 0 or 90 degrees).
- Click in the quadrant through which the construction grid should be drawn.
The construction grid will be drawn on screen when completed.
