    Construct tangent and other commands

      Product: MicroStation
      Version: 08.11.07.443
      Environment: N\A
      Area: Drawing Aids
      Subarea: Snaps

    Problem

    Construct tangent and other commands. Where to find the tools to create arcs, circles tangent to elements and where to find the tool to create elements perpendicular to other elements.

    Solution

    Key ins are available.

    construct tangent circle 3 etc.

    The commands are not in the default interface because by using the various Snap
    tools the same results can be obtained. Often with more flexibility.
    The older commands are still available as key ins.

    They start with the word: Construct

    Examples:

    Construct Perpendicular To
    Construct Perpendicular From
    Construct Tangent To
    Construct Tangent From
    Construct Tangent Circle 1
    Construct Tangent Circle 3
    Construct Tangent Arc 1
    Construct Tangent Arc 3
    Construct Tangent Between

    Via the keyin:

    dialog palette 40line

    a toolbox with these older commands will pop up.
