Endless Line > Parallel (Temporary Objects Menu)

This command is used to create a Temporary Object as an endless line which runs parallel to a line of any type.

The distance is not entered numerically, but is implied by the entry of a point on the line If a known numeric distance is to be entered, use the command Construction Aid Endless Line > Parallel, Numerical instead.

Any line in an existing object can be identified as the reference line. This can also be a side of a rectangle or a part of a circle segment.

After identification, a straight line which runs parallel to the identified line and moves with the mouse appears. This line is referred to as the "Reference Straight Line".

After identifying the reference line, a point is entered that defines a parallel which runs through that point. This point can be entered with the mouse, by clicking anywhere in the drawing.
