Toggle 45 Degrees ( Modeling & Drawing Editor )

Tool summary :

  • Turns on or off the display of construction lines intersecting noticed points at 45 degrees.

    " Toggle ... " is on ( icon is gray )
  • When " Toggle ... " is on, then " Add 45 degree construction lines at noticed points " in Point Location Configuration is checked (on), and temporary construction lines become visible, and therefore locatable, at 45° screen coordinate increments through a temporary point if the Locate option INCL or ONLN or INCM or INCR is used for second point location, or if BSCL is active. This makes it no longer necessary to always lay out construction lines in order to get the points that you want.

    " Toggle ... " is off ( icon is white )
  • When " Toggle ... " is off, then " Add 45 degree construction lines at noticed points " in Point Location Configuration is not checked (off), and the generation of temporary construction lines through noticed points will only occur at 90° increments, not at 45° increments.
