Tiger Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 option 1: Set your Polar Tracking (right-click on the POLAR-button at the bottom of the screen) to a suitable angle and draw away option 2: when in the Line or Polyline command, type option 3: Draw lines based on coordinates if you have them, or relative coordinates. Does any of the above options strike your fancy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
