The Perpendicular tool creates a line perpendicular to another line through a vertex.

On the right an added perpendicular line

Usage

  1. Optional pick favoured line attributes using Aspect button.
  2. Select one line (1).
  3. Select one vertex (2).
  4. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Perpendicular button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Extensions: centerlines and threading → Create a line perpendicular to another line) option from the menu.
  5. A cosmetic line is created.
  • The selected line (1) defines the direction.
  • The created line passes through the vertex (2).
  • The length of the created line is the same as the length of the direction defining line.
  • Linestyle, width and color is used as selected in the Aspect tool.
