Construction Aid Beam > Tangential Append (Construct Menu)

This command draws a Construction Aid beam which runs tangential to a line, circle arc, ellipse arc, or Bézier curve.

After identification, a straight line appears which runs tangential to the reference object. This line is referred to as the "Reference Straight Line".

The second point on the Construction Aid beam can be entered by clicking the mouse anywhere in the drawing. A perpendicular is dropped from this position to the reference straight line to determine the direction of the new Construction Aid beam.
