[John Macolini]

Is there a command for this one, too?

Maybe I'm not doing it right. But I'd like to be able to draw just a single
line from an existing line, at a specific angle, without drawing a point.
Like LDD, line/by turned angle.

Maybe that's not possible.

Try using the EXTENDER command and select "A#" dd.mmss.

That's getting me close. But not quite.

Possible with either method. In order to not create points using the first method - Uncheck "Point Numbers" in Point Defaults.

The second method, "Extend by Distance", does not create points.

Use the "H" option to display help on this command.

[Geoffrey Leiter]

Hmm..I thought you simply wanted to draw a line from the endpoint of a given
line at a certain turned angle. Is there something else?

Thanks.

I like that uncheck point numbers thing.

I should probably print out the whole manual someday - it'd probably answer
some of my questions.

Well, I tried your instructions, and it didn't work.

I used extender, and typed "A" and it appeared to stand for align. And
typing a number just extended it along the same direction.

If you're saying to type in "A30", I did, and it puts the line in as a 30
deg deflection.

No. I was looking for something like, what I said above, the LDD command
Line/By turned angle.

You did give me a way of doing it, with turning the points off in Point
Defaults, and then using the Cogo command. Thanks. That is what I was
looking for.

And thanks for all the other answers to my Carlson questions. I really
appreciate the help.

I'm becoming a big fan of Carlson. I'm just very used to and familiar with
LDD, having used it for many years. Carlson seems to be able to perform all
of the same tasks. It's just set up a little differently than what I'm used
to.

I have it!!
COGO - Locate by Bearing/Angle - By Angle
(or type turnang2)

Anything wrong with simply running "L" for line and then doing "@
(length) < (angle)? Unless I don't understand what you're asking.
