How to draw a line perpendicular on an arc at the a particular point?
I wanted to draw a line perpendicular to an arc at a particular point but couldn’t approach it. In this case, I need two snaps to work at the same time! To be perpendicular on the curve and at the same time to be snapped to the point!
How do I draw perpendicular from a line or object at a specific point? I know by holding shift and osnap perpendicular I can draw the line but I can not osnap to the exact point!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a curved path I imported into Illustrator, and I'd like to draw a line perpendicular to the curve at a particular point. I've searched google and this forum, but can't find any description of how to do it. Corel Draw has a button that lets you do this, so I'm hoping something similar exists in Illustrator...
i'm currently just calculating the angle at the point I want using the derivative, finding the angle, and then adding 90 degrees to it. But I need the line to be placed at a particular point, and the X/Y properties of the line are based on the ruler which isn't even in the center of the document (I want to position it relative to the artboard). As in, I just want to set the position of one endpoint of the line...
How to draw a line that STARTS at a perpendicular angle to another line ???
View 4 Replies View Related I have a line or a pline segment and i want to start a line from a point laying there and go perpendicular outwards. Is there a way to do it with tracking?
Yes, i saw the command draw line at an angle but i find it a little bit complicated for a simple task like that. I am sure autodesk have a simplest solution about that.
If i am already at the draw line mode and i can easy catch the tracking perpendicular to previous segment but if i want to start from another line and go perpendicular i cannot make the tracking work.
I have a line which is at (0,0) and (2,2). I need to draw a perpendicular to this line from point(1,0).

View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently I've been working with a lot more projects that contain curved architectural features. It appears that I am unable to draw a line to an implied perpendicular point on an arc. I can draw a line to an implied point perpendicular to another line but not an arc. refer to attached images.
Image1 demonstrates the implied point perpendicular to a line.
Image2 demonstrates that there is no implied perpendiuclar point on the arc given by AutoCAD.
Image3 demonstrates that if the arc is manually extended, a point perpendicular to the arc does exist.
It seems like this should work.

When trying to draw a line and choose a starting point, autocad decides that this is wrong and start the line in a different place. I've turned of autosnap and autotrack but this dosen't work.
What is it that I've forgot to turn off?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an alignment going up the center of a draw. I'd like to extract cross sections of this alignment and existing ground. What is a good way to do this?
I don't do cross sections very often, so when I need one, I draw a second alignment perpendicular to the first and profile that alignment to give me a bare bones cross section. I'd like to do these cross sections on a given interval, and at every change in direction. How should I go about it?
Is it possible to draw a line with fixed ends. I want to draw a line, representing a pipe, which connects two tanks. Whenever I move one of the tanks I'd like the line automatically to adjust its coresponding end in such a way that the line aways will start from the one tank and end on the other. Is it possible that?
Another question, is there some option, such that whenever two line cross each other, one of the line automatically to go over the other. By this I want to show on the drawing that the two lines are not connected. Something like the following "sketch"

I wanted to draw a line inclined by particular angle from another line but couldn’t get the best way to do that.
For example, in the screenshot below, I wanted to draw a line inclined by 60º from an existing line but couldn’t approach the best way to approach it.

I accidentally got constraints in my present drawing and could not get rid of them. pls give me a hand on how to delete them. it is causing me a problem when for example i need to stretch a line that have a point (which makes part of the line) the point moves together with the line which means the original coordinate of the point is lost. THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN. i work with precise coordinates which means the coordinates of points should be kept as originals and NOT TO MOVE ELSEWHERE.
I notice i was using the multiple stretch with C option when I noticed the problem started and after that i had constraints sticked on all the lines.
How to get rid of constraints?
I need do draw perpendicular lines at fixed intervals to a path. The path may be either open or closed. This is used as a symbol on maps to denote a depression with the perpendicular stubs pointing in the direction of the depression. Ideally, I would like the perpendicular lines to draw themselves as I draw the path.

I have already two programs for this, one for placing objects on curve with specific length and 2nd for pick & export coordinates to excel or other type of file. but this is very lengthy process & need too big time. but I think it cab be done in a single command written in lisp.
I am having a problem with the perpendicular function when I draw a line. It won't lock at a single point, instead it moves along an axis.
For example, when I want to draw a line in Y direction it moves in the X axis, and opposite if I draw in the X direction.
How can I make the perpendicular function lock to one position?
I have a problem with a recently downloaded version of Inventor. When I start a new drawing all I get is a blank blue screen instead of one with a grid display. If I start a line I can see the cursor change to draw the line but a line does not appear. I don't know if it something with how I installed the program or just system settings.
