Single Compasses
New in V7.0
Taking a point as reference, users can add a new point on the desired segment with specific length. The distance between that two points is the specific value the user input in Single Compasses dialog box.
For example: now we are going to draw a segment intersects Segment A at the new point Point 2. And the length of the segment (between Point 1 and Point 2) is 15 cm.
How to do:
- Select Point 1 and Segment A;
- SelectAdd Point to Segment tool;
- Hold down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Macintosh), the arrow turns into a cross, then click Point 1;
- The dialog box appears, input the value (e.g. 15 cm) in Single Compasses, then click OK, and new point (Point 2) is created on Segment A;
- Connect Point 1 and Point 2 by using the Segment tool. The length of linking segment is 15cm. >
