raymarcher Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 How do I snap my new line to the edge of another object? A workaround is drawing the line over the object, and snap the point back using intersection snapping. I hope you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designerstuart Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 right click object snap button at the bottom of the screen - settings turn on extension, and polar tracking too. btw your profile says 3ds, but that looks like autocad to me!

designerstuart Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 oh and if it helps you can also just use command EX or TR to extend and trim to a line. so for this you'd hit EX, select the diagonal line, enter, select the horizontal line, enter. or better still - EX, enter twice, then every line you select extends til it hits something. any use?
