Construct Bisector Angle tool bisects the (smaller) angle between two lines. Is there a tool that bisects the external (larger) angle between those lines?
Thank you all for your answers. I have been using workarounds you are describing until now, but I am looking for an easier way to do it. I have to bisect the external angle many times over again and again and could save a lot of time if I had the right tool.
I am sure there is a way to do this by writing a macro, can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, it seems like it would be possible for Bentley to add that option to the existing tool.
Hi Lorys,

Hi,
an alternative to Conors's advice is to place SmartLine (or simple line) and to use AccuDraw properly: To define second point, if you will change AccuDraw mode to polar, rotate a compass by one leg and use AccuDraw cacluclator to divide the angle by half, you will receive the same result. If you are familiar with AccuDraw, it can be easier and done in one step. Otherwise the workflow proposed by Conor is simplier.
Hello,
I don't see a tool to specifically bisect the external angle. You could use the Construct Bisector Angle tool and then use the Extend Line tool to project the result back to the other side to bisect the larger angle. Extend Line can be found from menu Tools > Manipulate > Modify > Extend Line or from the Tasks menu
