I'm still very new at EVOLVE and as such I get caught up in trying to fit my past experience with other more trad CAD  tools into the workflow of EVOLVE - gets me into trouble.  However, I'm hoping there is a simple way (which I am simply not finding) in which I can specify a line's angle from a center of rotation and base line - thanks!

    Hello,

     

    you can try the following (see attached picture):

    1. Create a copy of the line

    2. Use Transform->Rotate tool

    3. Drag the center of rotation to new location (at example to the endpoint of the line)

    4. Rotate, you can enter any value on the tool dialog

     

    Best Regards,

    Mario
