Set end of line to meet another line without altering length
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 8:58 pm
I need to set the end point of a line based on another line without altering the length, only the angle. Here's an example:
Line A Vertical - length 28, Start 27,56 End 27, 28
Line B - length 40 Start 57,22
I need the end point of B to rest on line A at any point on line A that preserves the length of line B. I've tried moving and snapping, but I lose either my start point or length in the process. I can probably figure out the angle with math, but I'd rather have an 'in program' solution that can eventually be programmed to draw automatically. The resulting angle of B is important for the rest of the drawing.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated! Thank you.
