You don't need to snap to a point, click on the originally horizontal guide line, then it suggests an inference 'parallel to edge outside active', when you are approximately over the long edge in the sibling instance [as the ends are approximating to 'square'], click to accept that.
EDIT: As Pilou shows in his screenshot - pipped at the post! -
Seems there is not #4, ( there are two #5) and I can't obtain your last result
I have snap on Parallel but not at "point"

I can't make it snap to the endpoint when I rotate...
Did you take the alignment point at the end of the line?
-
In Step 5 while snapping, my sketchup refuses to snap "exactly" on the endpoint no matter where I pick, are you sure it is exact?
-
I change the component axis location then it works better even with the end point.

The horizontal point of the end of the line don't work (on the right of the last red point on the blue line)
OK that works only if you take the click point under your arrey drawing! Very curious!!!
Luck ?

Right - now I see that it infer from itself. But I get no snapping from the end-point.

You have not made the last file "save as V6"

Use free SU8 to convert back to SU6?

Pilou works with a Minitel.
( private joke for frenchies ) -
Ok now that work from the middle to the end of line!
The two #5 and the #4 absent were not modified !
Your method is very very tricky!
I must find a solution with the offset tool
PS My Minitel works like a charm

Gilles, you're a genius! I finally had a chance to get back to look at this and your method works very nicely. I wonder if I'll be able to remember it the next time I need it.

Dat is *&^$@# genius!!
nice work gilles -
-
Very clever gilles -- makes perfect sense and needs no math to execute
Best,

VERY clever Pilou !
Bravo to you too.Here's my slight reworking of your brilliant ideas, with some explanatory notes.
I think this way is a little simpler and easier to see what's happening.
