straight line

[Janet Manzano]

how can i create a straight line? in Autocad, we just need to turn ON the ortho snap F8

[Sam Cech]

one example:
while creating a line start typing:

bd 90 10

(bearing distance: 90deg 10metre)

[Sam Cech]

you can also turn on the GRID (tickandcross icon)

and turn on grid snap

[Sam Cech]

sorry I should probably just write one message next time

anyway,
if you have access to the help menu search for:

X Y Z and Ch Ht Typed Input Box

that will explain the typed inputs
bd - bearing and distance
r - relative
a - absolute

and so on

I often use Cad Traverse as well to create lines on an angle
many ways to achieve this in 12d so you need to find the one option that suits you
