Extending a non-axis orientated line
-
I'm developing a router jig to carve guitar necks on and it bases it's shape on two profiles, one at the first fret and one at the 9th fret. I have drawn these out on sketchup and have lofted them to get the neck profile, but I need to extend it further out at each end without distorting the original shape. Is there a way of extending a line without changing it's axis? I have tried drawing an adjoining line and using the snap 'parallel to edge' function, but I can't get it to work properly.
Any ideas? Am I missing something totally obvious to everyone else but me?

Do you use the shift key to lock the inference?

Thank you!! That was just what I needed to know. How do people know these tricks? Do you just discover them by accident or are they written down somewhere?
