Angle a line

maker_of_things

In sketch how do you draw or make a line a set angle either using world ref or to another line?

Once you have drawn your two lines, select the dimension tool, then click on each line and the dimension tool should change from linear to 'angle'.  then type in the angle you want.

With Oshape the tools are often multifunctional and its best to spend time experimenting. Like the co-incident tool makes lines coincident, points on planes coincident, points on lines coincident, lines on planes coincident etc.  So just play for a bit

One word of advice - - the 'space' bar will be one's friend.  The OS 'cumulative selection' of lines , features etc  takes a bit of getting used to, but hitting the space bar deselects all where ever one is.    So one ends up hitting it alot.

Watch al ot of the videos as there is a lot of subtle UI info in them
