Allows you to create a
keypoint line parallel to another line or curve.
To draw a line parallel
to a curve
- Click the Parallel Line
icon, or choose Lines
> Parallel Line from the Keypoint Curve Toolbox.
- Click the curve to which the new line
will be parallel.
- Guidelines are added for the curve, allowing
you to line up the start and/or end points of the new line.
- If you click a curved line, the new line
is parallel to the tangent where you click.
- Click the start point of the parallel
line, or type a 3D coordinate to place the point exactly.
As you drag the start
point, the Parallel Line tool displays
the distance between the lines in current linear units.
- Click the end point of the parallel line,
or type a 3D coordinate to place the point exactly.
As you drag the end point,
the Parallel Line tool displays
the length of the line in current linear units.
Line Parallel Options
- Degree
-
Specifies the degree
of the curve. The values range from 1 to 7. The default is 1.
