Construction Aid Beam > Vertical (Construct Menu)

This command draws a vertical Construction Aid beam. "Vertical" refers to the position of the beam in relation to the view. If the drawing is displayed rotated, then the beam will also be created rotated.

The start point of the Construction Aid beam can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing.

After entering the start point, a straight line running horizontally through the start point appears. This is referred to as the "Reference straight line".

The second point on the Construction Aid beam can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing. A perpendicular is dropped from this position to the reference straight line to determine the direction of the new Construction Aid beam.
