Help line

A help line is a drawing aid that can, for example, be used to create intersections in the drawing area or coordinate grid (see Figure 1).

Example:

You want to draw a help line from the mid-point of an existing wall.

Follow these steps:

  1. Select the Help line component, under Drawing Aids on the Wall Drawing component tab.

  2. Move the mouse pointer to the middle of the wall (it will automatically find the mid-point) and click.

  3. In the input box that appears, enter the desired length.

  1. Confirm the entered value, and enter the angle of the help line by pressing one of the arrow keys on the keyboard. The blue help line is now placed in the drawing area.

 

 

Note: Drawing aids are not visible on a printout, but are only meant to assist in drawing.
