    Problem

    How to snap perpendicular (or Tangent) to an intersection of an arc and
    line.

    Product: MicroStation V8
    Version: 08.00.00.21
    Area: AccuDraw/AccuSnap

    Solution

    Enable "Fixed Point for Perp. / Tan. From" and set Intersection as
    active snap and Perpendicular (or Tangent) as the snap override .

    Steps:
    1. Go to Settings > Snaps > AccuSnap
    2. Enable "Fixed Point for Perp. / Tan. From"
    3. Set Active snap to Intersection.
    4. Set the override snap to Perpendicular (or Tangent).
    5. Locate and snap to arc.
    6. Locate and snap to Line.
    7. Locate other end of line.

    Notice line will be snapped to the intersection of the line and arc, but
    will also be tangent to the arc.

    Optional:
    If AccuSnap is enabled, the intersection can be selected in one step
    instead of two if placing cursor at intersection.
