Yes, i tried. Can I rotate the lines at a angle degrees?

 

Thank you for reply!

Why not use rotate? It's by far the easiest way.

 

After you create a circle with the first line (I assume this isn't a problem), just do this to create the second line:

 

Click the center grip on the existing line.

Tap the space bar two times.

Press C
Press Enter

Press 90

Press Enter

 

Voila.


Best regards

It's not quite clear to me what you're trying to do -- an image or sample drawing would be helpful.  Do you mean some particular non-quadrant directions?

 

Draw a Line from any NEArest point on the Circle, PERpendicular to the opposite side, and Array it in Polar fashion to get the perpendicular one, maybe?

 

It could be automated into a routine if you can be more particular about what is needed.

The easiest way to communicate geometry is with,.... wait for it..... with geometry.

Attach your *.dwg file here as suggested.

 

Are you familiar with using the Parametric tools?

Have you resolved this yet?

 

If not, here is a way which involves grip MOVE, but no construction and erase:

1. Draw a LINE from circle CENter to your non-quadrant point on circle (use NEARest, or whatever).

2. EXTEND that line to opposite "side" of circle. (Yes, I know circles don't have "sides".)

3. Draw a LINE from some other point on the circle (NEARest, or QUADrant, any point not coinciding with end points of first line) PERPendicular to your 1st line.

4. MOVE (using MIDpoint grip) the line to the MIDpoint of 1st line (or CENter of circle).

5. EXTEND that line to opposite "side" (or "sides") of circle.

 

If you wanted it in less than five steps, so sorry.

I do that with a dynamic block, inserts, scales, rotates all in one command. See attached.  I have this where I insert it from my Ribbon.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

If something I wrote can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.
