Creating a Parallel Construction Line at a Specified Distance¶
Use the AM_ConstPar command to create a construction line that is parallel to a specified linear entity at a specified distance. You can create parallel construction lines for lines, rays, or xlines.
You can switch between a ray and an xline using the AM_ConstSWI command.
To create a parallel construction line at a distance specified by a point:
Do one of the following:
On the ribbon, click Home > Construction Lines > Construction Lines > Parallel with Full Distance.
Type AM_ConstPar.
In the graphics area, specify the linear entity the construction line is parallel to.
Specify an insertion point to define the construction line position.
To create parallel construction lines at a specified distance:
Do one of the following:
On the ribbon, click Home > Construction Lines > Construction Lines > Parallel with Full Distance.
Type AM_ConstPar.
In the graphics area, specify the linear entity the construction line is parallel to.
Specify the Distance option and type a value. Next, specify the side on which to draw the construction line.
To draw multiple construction lines at once, specify a set of distances separated by |.
