Extend, move, or rotate construction lines and arcs

You can modify construction lines and arcs in different ways according to your needs. You can stretch, shorten, or rotate construction lines, or move them in a perpendicular direction. As for construction arcs, you can stretch and shorten them, adjust their radius, or move them in any direction. For detailed instructions, see the following paragraphs.

Restriction:

You can only move construction lines and arcs in 2D views.

Stretch, shorten, or rotate a construction line

  1. In a 2D view, select the construction line that you want to modify.

    The end nodes and the center node of the construction line become visible.

  2. Click one of the end nodes.
  3. Click the location where you want to move the node.

    The node moves to its new position.

Move a construction line to a perpendicular direction

  1. In a 2D view, select the construction line that you want to modify.

    The end nodes and the center node of the construction line become visible.

  2. Click the center node.
  3. Click the location where you want to move the node.

    The construction line moves to its new position.

Stretch or shorten a construction arc

  1. In a 2D view, select the construction arc that you want to modify.

    The end nodes of the arc perimeter and the center node of the arc visible.

  2. Click one of the end nodes.
  3. Click the location where you want to move the node.

    The arc stretches or shortens accordingly.

Adjust the radius of a construction arc

  1. In a 2D view, select the construction arc that you want to modify.

    The end and center nodes of the arc perimeter and the center node of the arc visible.

  2. Click the center node of the arc perimeter.
  3. Click the location where you want to move the node.

    The arc radius adjust accordingly.

Move a construction arc

  1. In a 2D view, select the construction arc that you want to modify.

    The end nodes of the arc perimeter and the center node of the arc visible.

  2. Click the center node of the arc.
  3. Click the location where you want to move the node.

    The arc moves to its new location.
