Constructing a Parallel Line

You can construct a line parallel to any two features. PC-DMIS creates a line parallel to the first input feature and passing through the center of the second input feature.

To construct a parallel line:

  1. Access the Construct Line dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Line).

  2. Select the Parallel option.

  3. Select two features of any type.

  4. Click the Create button.

The Edit window command line for this option would read:

CONSTR/LINE,PLTO,feat_1,feat_2,length

A - Line constructed parallel to the first feature and through the second feature
B - First feature
C - Second feature
D - FRONT
