The grid frame graphically limits them.

General philosophy:

Select a point.

or

Select the curve to create tangent sketch line on.

Example(s):

• Horizontal and Vertical sketch lines

• Horizontal and Vertical tangent sketch lines

• 30° sketch line

Available Option(s) :

You can use  CHANGE TO HORIZONTAL  /  CHANGE TO VERTICAL  to set the orientation of the line

It's possible to modify the angle relative to the reference direction (0° by default) using .

You can also modify the reference direction (by default the X axis) using  DIRECTION OF REFERENCE .

The button  2 POINTS  allows you to create a sketch line using 2 passing points.

In this mode, you can use the button  FACE  to set an angle with a face instead of defining one of the two passing points

Available modification(s):

You can move the line by using and clicking its control point. You can as well use dimensions to control the position.

You can modify its parameters using .
