How can I draw:

I. a line at an angle without using "POLAR" i.e using "LINE" command only

II. a line along Z-axis from any unknown X,Y coordinate i.e (?,?,100)

Arun

Hello Arun!

1. To draw line, for example with length 50 units and angle 45 degrees from point 0,0:

LINE
Specify first point: 0,0
Specify next point: 50<45
Specify next point or [Undo]:

2. Do you means "Line" or "Construction Line"? For line you can enter coordinates of start and end points, for example 0,0,0 and 0,0,100 for line along Z-axis.. With Construction line you can create it with the same points, but you will not see it and can select it only by Select all command. To see this construction line you can switch to another view, for example any of isometric views.

Hi Seva!
Thanks for your answer.

In the first case, if line segment length not mension i.e the steps should be:
LINE Specify first point:
Specify next point or [Undo]: <45
Angle Override: 45

Specify next point or [Undo]:

In the second case, if first point is anywhere and then you want to draw line along Z-axis (next point) i.e the steps should be:
LINE Specify first point:
Specify next point or [Undo]: @0,0,100


(second case, its working okk) :)
Regards,
Arun
