    Precision in Specifying Point Locations #

    • Use object snap , to snap to locations on objects
    • Use Orthogonal locking, Ortho Mode (F8), to constrain cursor movement to the
      horizontal and vertical directions
    • Use angle overrides to lock the cursor to a specified angle

    How to draw a line with the specific angle and length? #

    1. Command line enter: Line or L, or Click Menu “Draw/Line”.
    2. Specify the first point.
    3. Do one of the following to specify the angle: Enter the left angle bracket (<) and the
      angle, for example <30, and move the cursor to indicate the direction.
    4. Do one of the following to specify the length: Enter the length of the line, for example
      25.
