      hello,

      I have a center point, I have a line A.

      I want to draw a second line with a specific length, first vertex starting at center point second vertex intersect with line A.

      I have tried different methods, circle, rotation... but can't find the real intersection.

      Ideas are welcome.

        I assume this involves arcs/circles ?
        These are segmented and you need tools like my TrueTAngent and TrueIntersection tools etc to find these points http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=160780#p160780

            Works fine, I spend a lot of time to find an easy method not to use Pythagora's theorem.

            thanks again.
