Reference Line Options
When you create a reference line between two elements, you can choose any (or none) of the following options.
Reference Line Option
Result
Parallel
The reference line is drawn parallel to the orientation direction of the source element.
Horizontal
A horizontal reference line is drawn from the source element.
Vertical
A vertical reference line is drawn from the source element.
Perpendicular
The reference line is drawn perpendicular to the orientation direction of the source element.
Reference Angle
This options prompts you for an angle. Enter the required angle into the command input line. The angular units will be those currently defined for your Creo Elements/Direct Drafting environment. A zero value implies horizontal text and a positive angle results in counterclockwise rotation.
Attach Source
This option enables you to attach the reference line to its source element. When you move the source element, the reference line will remain attached to this element like a "rubber band".
Underline
The source element is underlined.
Invisible
An invisible reference line is drawn.
When you draw a multi-segment reference line (by clicking points between the source element and its target element), note that these options apply to the first reference line segment (between the source element and the first reference line point you click) only.
