Infinite Construction Lines
Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 5:47 pm
I've recently purchase the QCad professional and am having difficulty getting used to it. Previous CAD experience involves ME10, SolidDesigner, and CADIntosh.
In all of these applications I can easily create infinite construction lines with minimal data entry and then either draw over them as guidance or trim them to become my geometry; however, I get the impression that construction geometry within QCad is "draw a line a little longer then trim" concept. The former requires a single point selection; whereas, the latter requires the specification of two points with the added delay of having to figure out the appropriate two points needed to span the likely space in which the geometry would exist.
Is there a single point specified infinite horizontal and vertical line tool that I've missed?
Sorry for the newbie question. Any guidance is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Kevin
