Construct perpendicular to element tool in Connect

Recently upgraded to latest Connect version and lost this Manipulate tool.  Any ideas where it is?  I had found it once, but can't locate it again.

  • Under the old "Linear Elements" there is a "Construct Line at Active Angle" which, when set to 90d will give you the same thing.

    I remember seeing that symbol a long time ago...V4? Ages ago...

    I'm in V8i but I believe the keyins are

    CONSTRUCT PERPENDICULAR TO

    and

    CONSTRUCT PERPENDICULAR FROM

    You can try those in Connect, and if they work, make yourself a new custom toolbar or ribbon panel with them on it.

  • Both those solutions work in Connect. The Construct Line at Active Angle is right in the base ribbon and does exactly what you need, as well as incorporating Construct Tangent Line. I've used those key-ins on the rare occasion I want to use that routine repeatedly.
