===[[File:Gt00001.jpg|50px]] Tool Point at distance and angle===
 
This is a straight line. Click on the point that you’d like to start from and drag out a bit.
Once you release, the following pops up and you can enter the dimensions you require:
 
[[File:Gt00018.jpg|400px]]
 
# Click to add a formula = The length of the line
# Enter the length of the line manually
# Click to add a formula = The degrees of the angle
# Enter the degrees of the angle manually
# The point that you originally clicked on above
# You may change the point label here or it will give you the next generated point label
# You may change the line type if you wish
# You may change the line color if you wish
# Click Apply to see if your settings are correct and if so, click Ok to save and exit the box

=== Point - On Line (Shortcut O, L) ===
===[[File:Gt00002.jpg|50px]] Tool Place a point at a distance along a line===
{|
The easiest is to click the label of the 1st point and then the label of the 2nd point in the direction that you want the distance to be measured from the 1st point. A box will pop up and you may enter the distance or enter a [[UserManual:Formula_creation|formula]]. This will only place a point of reference since the line type is automatically selected as ‘no color’ - you may choose another line type and color. You may change the label name.

|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

*Lenght: You can define a fixed lenght or use formulas for adaptive / calculated values

===[[File:Gt00003.jpg|50px]] Tool Point along perpendicular===

This is very handy when you wish to ‘square off’ from a particular point. In other words, create a line at a 90° angle from a point. Click on the point where you need to square off and drag around to another. A box will pop up where you may enter a formula or length of the line, change the label, use the arrows or enter the degrees for the ‘square off’, change the line type and change the color of the line. Once again, you can click apply to check that it is doing what you want before clicking ‘Ok’ to accept the instruction and close the box.

*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

Click on the 1st label, the 2nd label (where you would like the new line to intersect) and then on the 3rd label. A line will be drawn from the 2nd label outward between the 1st and 3rd labels. A box will pop up where you can enter either a formula or length of the new line and you may edit the other details if you wish.
