[solved] Move line to tangent point

Post by pogocad » Thu May 27, 2021 8:20 am

Hi
I don't get it! I want to move a 35° line to the tangent point of a circle. Move, selecting the middle of the line, snap to tangent, select circle. The result is the line crosses the circle at two points, What I am doing wrong?

Thanks! Searched only in this board. I found a solution without snap. Draw a line from center of circle perpendicular to line. Move the first line to the intersection with the circle.
