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:

1. Select Point 1 and Segment A;

2. Select Add Point to Segment tool;

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

4. 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;

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