Back with an misunderstanding. If I draw a vertical line, then choose parallel line, then select the original one that I have drawn, I can either enter an offset, or click. If I only enter an offset, the application ignores the sign and drop a parallel line - 50-50 chance of it being the correct side. If I click, the application ignores my typed in entry and draws the parallel where I clicked. The User Manual says:
2b.Enter a offset distance. 3b.Click on which side you want the parallel line to be drawn.
Seems I am missing something, can't have it both ways.Just now, I drew a vertical line, entered -21mm and had the cursor to the Right ( + ) side of the original line and the app drew the line 21 mm offset in the -x direction.If I enter the -21mm and then click to the Right (+) side, I get the parallel where I click.
I can see confusion if I were to draw a perfect 45 degree line; that being which direction to Minus the offset x, or y. ThanksAl
