Adjust Angles

 
     

To adjust the angle of a line in your sketch:

  1. In a sketch, click the Modify button in the main toolbar.

  2. Click to select one of the lines forming the angle you wish to adjust.
  3. If you know the degree of the angle, enter it in the Base Angle field in the Properties panel on the right.

    You can also use the directional arrows on your keyboard to incrementally adjust the angle the line forms with its adjacent line. Here are a few basic tips for adjusting angles using the arrows on your keyboard:

    • If you're modifying a horizontal line, use the left and right arrows to extend or shrink the line. The up and down arrows will simply modify the angle of the line.
    • If you're modifying a vertical line, use the up and down arrows to extend or shrink the line. The left and right arrows will simply modify the angle of the line.
    • For angled lines, all four directional arrows will directly impact the length and angle of the line. Just use the arrows that will adjust your line with the fewest incremental adjustments.
