This tool allows to set the slope (vertical horizontal) of selected wires or lines. By setting a slope value, all vertices after the first one will have their Z value changed so the different segments of the wires or lines will have the given inclination.
For a selected [[Draft Line]] or [[Draft Wire]] drawn on the XY plane, this tool increases the Z coordinate of all vertices after the first one, so that the line or wire has the slope defined by the tool.

The slope value is a tangential value: 0 means horizontal, 1 means 45 degrees upwards, -1 means 45 degrees downwards, 0.577 means 30 degrees up, etc.

Description

For a selected Draft Line or Draft Wire drawn on the XY plane, this tool increases the Z coordinate of all vertices after the first one, so that the line or wire has the slope defined by the tool.

How to use

  1. Select a Draft Line or Draft Wire object.
  2. Press the File:Draft Slope.png Set Slope button, or go to the menu Draft → Utilities → Set Slope.
  3. Set the desired slope value, and press the OK button.
