This combination creates a line tangent to a circle and passing at a specified angle to the selected line. Move
the cursor to a circle and type , then move over the line and type . You will then see the angle value
displayed in the coordinate field of the status bar. This is the angle between the selected and the
rubberbanded lines. Now you have a choice of setting the parameter according to the cursor position or edit
the parameter by entering a value, variable or expression. In the first case, simply click , and in the second
– use the property window or the parameters dialog box for editing the angle parameter. Note that the angle
value is entered in degrees.

Use these options to create a line that is the symmetry axis for the two selected lines. In the case of
intersecting lines, turn on the option , move the cursor over one of them and type . Then move over
the other line and type once more. A newly created line will bisect the angle between the two lines,
acting as the symmetry axis. The same command works on parallel lines as well. After activating the option
move the cursor over one line and type , then move over the other and again type . A third
parallel line will be created bisecting the distance between the two selected.

These options help define a lane parallel to a selected line and tangent to a circle. Move the cursor over a line
and type . Then move over a circle and type . A new line will be created, parallel to the selected line
and tangent to the circle.
Note: In this situation, as in some other cases, there are two possibilities for the line placement with
respect to the circle. The system distinguishes them and at the creation instance settles with the
configuration in which the line is closer to the selection point on the circle.
