deangelis Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 What is the procedure used to insert a line, tangent to a circle , at a specific angle. Thanking you is, Reggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
designerstuart Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 unlikely to be best way but as no replies: draw line at the angle you want move from midpoint to centre of circle trim / extend line so ends snap to cirle (you now have circle cut exactly in half) copy line and rotate 90 degrees (now cirle cut in 4) move original line from midpint to endpoint of second line done. probably you knew this..... sorry!

fuccaro Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Start the Line command. When AutoCAD asks for the first point, enter TAN and click the circle somewhere about the start of the line. When prompted for the second point, enter something like @100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
