Draft Snap Perpendicular: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:40, 25 November 2018

Other languages:

This method snaps to a line or edge, or to an extension of it, to produce a line that is perpendicular to that edge.

Snapping the second point of a line to an invisible extension of another line, so that the first one is perpendicular to the second one

Make sure File:Snap Lock.svg Draft ToggleSnap and File:Snap Perpendicular.svg Snap Perpendicular are turned on.
Choose Draft Line to draw a shape. Enter the first point.
Move the cursor over a line segment or edge of another object to select the point of perpendicularity.
The edge will be highlighted in yellow, and a small white circle will indicate the point on the edge, or on its extension, to which your point will be attached.
Click to attach your new point.
