Relative Construction Methods

In addition to Guide Lines and Snap Guides, the relative construction methods also constrain the element construction direction to a constant angle or offset. They are accessible from the Drafting Aids toolbar:

They can also be accessed from the third button of the Control Box.

See Control Box for more information.

Each Relative Construction Method is described in the following sections:
