Single Compasses
=====================
  
  New in V7.0
  
  Taking a point as reference, users can add a new point on the desired segment with specific length.  The distance between that two points is the specific value the user input in Single Compasses dialog box.  

  For example: now we are going to draw a segment intersects Segment A at the new point **Point 2**.  And the length of the segment (between Point 1 and Point 2) is 15 cm.

  How to do:

  #. Select Point 1 and Segment A; 

  #. Select |tool_image77| Add Point to Segment tool;  

  #. Hold down the **Alt** key (Windows) or **Option** key (Macintosh), the arrow turns into a cross, then click Point 1; 

  #. The dialog box appears, input the value (e.g. 15 cm) in Single Compasses, then click OK, and new point (Point 2) is created on Segment A; 

  #. Connect Point 1 and Point 2 by using the Segment tool.  The length of linking segment is 15cm.
