![]() I should think that it would also be more accurate.Īs you can see, there are many "tricks" to accomplish the same results, depending on the situation. This method would require no math or "guess work" either. If the line the 45-degree line is to be drawn from is not at 0 or 180 degrees, then you'll need to get the angle of the reference line using the "dimension" tab and add or subtract, in 45 degree increments, until you get the desired orientation.Īlternately, and I think an easier method would be to draw a temporary "perpendicular" line and use the "chamfer" tool, as previously described, to create a 45-degree angle between the two "odd angled" lines. The alternate values, from a straight vertical(0) or horizontal(180) line, are 45(of course), 135, 225 & 315. You'll probably have to enter alternate degree values to create the "45-degree angle" in the desired orientation. You may want to place a "temp point" on one of the lines as a "snap point" for one end of the angled line. If the lines are not at 90-degrees to each other, then you could use the "draw angled line" tool in the "line" tab. If the lines extend beyond the newly created corner, they will be "cut-off" and you may need to draw-in new lines if you still want them to continue beyond that corner. ![]() Remember, though, that a 1/4"(.25) chamfer will create a 1/2"(.5) long, 45-degree angled corner at the intersection. ![]() If the two lines intersect at 90 degrees to each other, you can use the "chamfer" tool in the "edit" tab.
