ToolsThe tools described in this section are designed to allow you to create a point atunder somecertain conditions. Such conditions can be different, for example distance or angle, parents' positions and etc.

|Create a new node withat 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 (right-click and select options), or use the Property Editor, to edit the details
|-

Line 29:
*Name: Name of the new node
*Base point: Starting point
*LenghtLength: You can define a fixed lenghtlength 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
Line 48:
|
|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, however, it will be inline with the two nodes.

Line 55:
*First point: Starting point
*Second point: End point
*LenghtLength: You can define a fixed lenghtlength or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
*Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node

|Click two nodes. This tool is a shortcut for the above mentioned tool. You still can change the lenghtlength manually
|-

Line 78:
*First point: Starting point
*Second point: End point
*Lenght: You can define a fixed lenghtlength or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
*Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
|-
Line 103:
*First point: Starting point
*Second point: End point
*Lenght: You can define a fixed lenghtlength 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
Line 129:
*Second point: Mid point and startpoint of the new node
*Third point: End point to determine the angle
*Lenght: You can define a fixed lenghtlength or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values
*Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node

|'''Important note:'''If the given length is to short the resulting point will be the same as the last point of thelinethe line you selected

Line 157:
*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
*LenghtLength: You can define a fixed lenghtlength or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values.
*Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node

|This tool is similar to above mentioned tool '''Point - Length to Line'''.
First select two points of a line to create a virtuelvirtual axis. ThanThen 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.

Line 190 ⟶ 191:
*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 lenghtlength or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values.
|-

Line 288 ⟶ 289:
*First point: First point of line. It's the '''first''' point you selected
*Second point: Second point of line. It's the '''second''' point you selected
*Angle: You can define a fixed lenghtlength or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values.
*Attributes: Specify the color, linetype and lineweight of the new node
