First select to points of a line to create a virtuel axis. Than select the centerpoint of a circle and define the radius. A new node will be created at the crosspoint of the axis and the radius.
First select two points of a line to create a virtuel axis. Than select the centerpoint of a circle and define the radius. A new node will be created at the crosspoint of the axis and the radius.
First select a starting point from which your length will be measured. Than select two points of a line. The new node will be created on the extention of your selected line.

Tools described in this section designed to allow create point at some conditions. Such conditions can be different, for example distance or angle, parents positions and etc.
Point - Lenght and Angle (Shortcut L, A)
Create a new node with a distance and angle away from another node
Click a node, move away in the general direction and distance, and click again to create the node. Open the Options to edit the details
Name: Name of the new node
Base point: Starting point
Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Angle: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Point - On Line (Shortcut O, L)
Create a new node at a distance from one point along a line between two points
Click two nodes and enter the distance from the first node that you’d like the new node to be placed.
You may place a node beyond the second node as well – it doesn’t need to be between the two nodes.
Name: Name of the new node
First point: Starting point
Second point: End point
Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Point - Midpoint On Line (Shortcut Shift+O, Shift+L)
Create a new node in the middle between two points
Click two nodes. This tool is a shortcut for the above mentioned tool. You still can change the lenght manually
Name: Name of the new node
First point: Starting point
Second point: End point
Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Point - On Perpendicular (Shortcut O, P)
Create a new node perdendicular (at an 90° angle) to a line
Click the node where you’d like to measure from and another node. Enter the distance and a rotation.
This is very handy when you wish to square off from a particular point.
Name: Name of the new node
First point: Starting point
Second point: End point
Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Rotation: You can define a fixed angle or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values. A rotation of 180° will flip the line on the other side.
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Point - On Bisector (Shortcut O, B)
Create a new node at an angle bisector between 3 points and a given length
Click the nodes in order where the second node is where the line will be measured from. Press enter and enter the distance.
Name: Name of the new node
First point: First point to determine the angle
Second point: Mid point and startpoint of the new node
Third point: End point to determine the angle
Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Point - Length to Line (Shortcut P, S)
Create a new node along a line at a distance from an axis node
First select a starting point from which your length will be measured. Than select two points of a line. The new node will be created on the extention of your selected line.
Important note:If the given length is to short the resulting point will be the same as the last point of theline you selected
Name: Name of the new node
First point: First point of the line to extend. It's the second point you selected
Second point: Second point of the line to extend. It's the third point you selected
Third point: Starting point of a virtual line with your given length. It's the first point you selected
Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values.
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Point - Intersect Arc and Line (Shortcut A, L)
Create a new node along a line at a distance from an axis node
This tool is similar to above mentioned tool Point - Length to Line.
First select two points of a line to create a virtuel axis. Than select the centerpoint of a circle and define the radius. A new node will be created at the crosspoint of the axis and the radius.
First select a starting point from which your length will be measured. Than select two points of a line. The new node will be created on the extention of your selected line.
Important note:If the radius is to small no point will be created. This could break your design if you rely on the created node for further tool.
Name: Name of the new node
Center of arc: Center point of arc. The radius will start from this point. It's the third point you selected
1st line point: Starting point of the line to extend. It's the first point you selected
2nd line point: Endpoint of the line to extend. It's the second point you selected
Radius: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values.
Point - Intersect Axis and Triangle (Shortcut X, T)
Create a new node at the apex of a triangle
Click on the first and second nodes of the first axis line and then the first and second points of the second line. A node will be placed to complete a triangle with a 90° angle at the crosspoint along the first axis line
Name: Name of the new node
1st axis point: Starting point of the axis. It's the first point you selected
2nd axis point: Endpoint of the axis. It's the second point you selected
First point: First point of line (hypotenuse of the triangle). It's the third point you selected
Second point: Second point of line (hypotenuse of the triangle). It's the fourth point you selected
Point - Intersect XY (Shortcut X, Y)
Create a new node where two lines would intersect
Click a node vertically placed and then a node horizontally placed. A node will be placed at the intersection
Name: Name of the new node
1st point: First point
2nd point: Second point
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Point - Intersect Line and Perpendicular (Shortcut L, P)
Create a new node at a 90° angle from a node along a line
Click on the base node and then click on the first and second node of a line along which you’d like to place the node
Name: Name of the new node
Base point: Base point. It's the first point you selected
First point: First point of line. It's the second point you selected
Second point: Second point of line. It's the third point you selected
Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
Point - Intersect Line and Axis (Shortcut L, X)
Create a new node at an angle to an axis node along a line
Click on the first and second nodes of the line and then the axis node. Drag around in the general direction where you’d like to place the node and click. You may change the angle to be more precise
Name: Name of the new node
Axis point: Base point. It's the third point you selected
First point: First point of line. It's the first point you selected
