&lt;p&gt;Good detective work.&lt;/p&gt;

All those commands still work in Connect, you do need the p, (to tell it it&amp;#39;s a primitive), but there are also keyins for each, eg construct tangent between. Everything there is easily accomplished with Accudraw shortcuts, but I will occasionally use those if multiple operation is necessary. I don&amp;#39;t remember having access to that level of input with IGDS, but we used those paper menu/digitizer for years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Construct perpendicular to element tool in Connect</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/626544?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Dec 2020 02:37:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e343e6ec-d5ce-4e6e-80b8-bc8ce4002648</guid><dc:creator>Lorys</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;those&amp;nbsp; are from V5.5 menu&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;which can still be found in V8i and&amp;nbsp; V10 under&amp;nbsp; 55menu.dgn ( turn on level 63 to see the commands) there is also&amp;nbsp; 8menu.dgn&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These were intended for using the digitiser but I also found it handy&amp;nbsp; to build keyins etc&amp;nbsp; they use the action strings and also the&amp;nbsp; 2 letter primitive commands ( very early mstn / IDGS I think)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They may not all work in your version ie Connect&amp;nbsp; but worth a try if your looking for fancy keyins to make your own tools&lt;/p&gt;

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.

&lt;p&gt;I remember seeing that symbol a long time ago...V4? Ages ago...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m in V8i but I believe the keyins are&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CONSTRUCT PERPENDICULAR TO&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CONSTRUCT PERPENDICULAR FROM&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can try those in Connect, and if they work, make yourself a new custom toolbar or ribbon panel with them on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Construct perpendicular to element tool in Connect</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/626493?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Dec 2020 16:49:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8cbff5e6-9096-4107-8a40-c2b56b4f0a2d</guid><dc:creator>LlbsktJCH</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks all.&amp;nbsp; Maybe I did customize it somehow.&amp;nbsp; Remembering how I did that will be fun!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Construct perpendicular to element tool in Connect</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/626490?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Dec 2020 16:30:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e34d1a30-8899-4203-af3a-b586b6998f1b</guid><dc:creator>MaryB</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I believe you have some sort of custom interface.
