Options

• :2_POS - specifies begin and end points for the current line.
• :HORIZONTAL - specifies a line parallel to the u-axis of the active workplane's coordinate system. Specify the start point to define the position of the line.
• :VERTICAL - specifies a line parallel to the v-axis of the active workplane's coordinate system. Specify the points to define the positions of the line.
• :ANGLE - specifies a line at an angle with respect to the u-axis of the workplane coordinate system.
• :ANGLE_REFERENCE - specifies a straight line whose angle is with respect to a specified reference line or offset angle.
• :PARALLEL - specifies a reference line the new line must be parallel to. The start and end points are defined automatically.
• :PERPENDICULAR - specifies a new line perpendicular to a reference element. If possible and necessary, the referenced element will be extended.
• :TANGENT - specifies a point on a curved element. The tangent line is placed next to the approximate tangent point on the curve. The end points must be defined separately.
• :TWO_TANGENT - the new line starts or ends at the tangent point of curved elements.

When to use

Example
