GcPerpendicular

Constrains two lines or polyline segments to lie perpendicularly to each other.

This command is equivalent to the Perpendicular option of the GEOMCONSTRAINT command.

Accessing the Command

command bar:  gcperpendicular

menu bar:  Parametric | 2D Constraints | Perpendicular

toolbar:  2D Constraints |

: gcperpendicular

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select first object: (select a line or linear polyline segment.)

Select second object: (select a line or linear polyline segment.)

The second entity is made perpendicular to the first.

Segments of the same polyline are accepted.
