beezarton Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm making a CAD plot plan and have the property lines set. How do I draw a parallel line for the set back when the property line is off angle (not on the X or Y axis) to an exact dimension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Use your "Make Parallel/Perpendicular" tool to align the second line and then use your temporary dimensions to position it or an actual dimension can be set to Perpendicular with the same tool. Lots of options with Chief... You can also edit a cad line to any angle you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezarton Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks All - I got it with your help. Used Copy to create the line and then the temp dimensions or the manual dimension to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Yup. Lots and lots of ways. A few more... 1. Use Copy/Paste Hold Position and concentric edit mode to move the copy (use the Concentric Jump distance). 2. Use Multiple Copy to drag out a new copy (use the Primary Offset distance). 3. Draw a line that simply snaps to the end point of your desired lot line and then move orthogonally (use the Tab key and then enter the desired distance). Many many more methods but those are just a few ideas to get the ball rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
