Im trying to do something as basic as draw a line but having trouble with When trying to draw a line i want it to be straight and only change at 90 degress whereas now i cant get it to be completely straight becasue it could be off by a couple of degrees,if that made sense. <BR /> For example in autocad you can change the settings to draw a line at 90 degress 0 degress etc and if i wanted to draw a line at 23 degrees i could type 23 degrees but the set angle was 0. Can you do the same in archicad or do you have to manually set the angle to 0 degrees everytime you draw a line?</T></DIV> Sat, 10 Apr 2010 11:13:15 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/how-do-you-set-the-line-to-draw-at-0-degrees/m-p/122745#M65090 Anonymous 2010-04-10T11:13:15Z Re: how do you set the line to draw at 0 degrees https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/how-do-you-set-the-line-to-draw-at-0-degrees/m-p/122746#M65091 Hi!<BR /> <BR /> hold the shift key when drawing the line .
