Input request
Enter angle or first point or [Points in 3D/?] <Points in 3D>:
Define the angle of the auxiliary line by pointing with the mouse or by entering an angle to create an auxiliary line in the XY plane of the current UCS.
Use the Option Points in 3D to produce an auxiliary line in three-dimensional space.
With the option ? you call the help.
Option Points in 3D
Specify first point in 3D or [?]:
Point with the mouse or enter coordinates to specify the first point of the angle.
Specify second point in 3D or [?]:
Point with the mouse or enter coordinates to specify the second point of the angle.
Specify passing point of the auxiliary line or [?]:
Using the mouse or by entering coordinates, you define the point through which the auxiliary line is to run.
Note
• Auxiliary lines are infinite lines (object type XLINE). You will find further information about Xlines in your AutoCAD documentation.
• For auxiliary lines ATHENA uses its own system layer (as standard ATH AUX). Use the Dialog box System layer to adapt the layer properties to your own requirements.
