ProgeSOFT IntelliCAD – Drawing rays
A ray is a line in three-dimensional space that starts at a point and extends to infinity.
Because rays extend to infinity, they are not calculated as part of the drawing extents.
The default method for drawing a ray is to select the start point of the ray and then specify its direction. You can draw a ray in any of the following ways:
• Horizontal draws the ray parallel to the x-axis of the current
user coordinate sys-tem (UCS).
• Vertical draws the ray parallel to the y-axis of the current
UCS.
• Angle draws the ray parallel to a specified angle.
• Bisect draws the ray perpendicular to an existing entity.
• Parallel draws the ray parallel to an existing entity.
To draw a ray
1 Do one of the following:
• Choose Insert > Ray.
• On the Draw 2D toolbar, click the Ray tool ().
• Type ray and then press Enter.
2 Specify the start point.
3 Specify the direction.
4 To complete the command, press Enter.
