I now need to insert a line of a specific length in between those. I'm sure there is a simple way to find out where the horizontal distance between the two is the length I'm after but I was unable to figure it out. So if anybody could help me that would be awesome. PS: this is what I'm working on, and i need to find out where the distance between the angled lines equals the horizontal one.<IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/208121iA33E5B6FFA13B40A/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="spanningrek.png" title="spanningrek.png" /></P> Tue, 22 Dec 2015 20:49:46 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/finding-point-of-specific-distance-between-two-lines/m-p/5962565#M298597 Anonymous 2015-12-22T20:49:46Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/finding-point-of-specific-distance-between-two-lines/m-p/5962631#M298598 <P>Copy either angled Line using the desired-length horizontal Line's endpoints for the Copy displacement [or, <EM>without</EM> a desired-length horizontal Line already drawn, Copy it horizontally by the length desired]. &nbsp;Where the new Line intersects the other angled Line will be one end of the desired location.</P> Tue, 22 Dec 2015 21:37:19 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/finding-point-of-specific-distance-between-two-lines/m-p/5962631#M298598 Kent1Cooper 2015-12-22T21:37:19Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/finding-point-of-specific-distance-between-two-lines/m-p/5965555#M298599 <P>Its quite hard to understand completely what you are trying to do. There are two commands that could help</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><A title="tutorial45" href="http://tutorial45.com/measure-the-distance-and-angle-between-2-points-in-autocad/" target="_self">This can help you learn how to find the distance between two points</A>.
