Hi,
I have a vector that is at an angle and I want to draw a line parallel to it. I know that I can specify the angle at which I can draw the line, but is there any way to find out what angle the vector is?
Thanks
Steve

Re: Find vector angle
You can use the "measure tool" to find the angle, or use the "Offset vector tool" to simply create the new line at a set distance away from the original one.

Re: Find vector angle
You can using the measure tool, but the angle value will only be displayed to one decimal place. 45.249 degrees will be measured as 45.2 degrees.
The methods resulting in a parallel line are much better.
