ReMark Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Are you looking to make a line relative to the last line segment? You could look into the use of Polar Tracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think that the answer to your question is that the angle, in the relative polar coordinates, is absolute, and measured from East, as zero, in an anticlockwise direction. If you want relative angles to an existing line, the 'rotate a copy of the line' technique is useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The @ symbol will let you start from anywhere and it will go 4 units (say mm) from there at 45 degrees. Try: line 0,10 @4 You will find it will be 4mm long from the 10mm up from 0,0 Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
