drawing a perpendicular line from a point on the line

How to drawing a perpendicular line from a point on the line ?

I was just pointing out that if it were a command, it could simply be called with an apostrophe, just like any other transparent command.

On the other hand, it might be practical to include it into the standard RT menu, where it could be called by a key letter. I like this idea, I might make this happen.

And what would you expect to happen if you typed in the command name PF without being in a command, and without a reference point?  If someone wanted a single-purpose command, for example one that would always and only start a LINE command perpendicular from something, that could be done.  ...

This is what I have now. It just draws a line 5 units long. Just a quick simple tool that serve good it's purpose. 🙂

Thanks!
However, when I typed PF in command, I couldn’t pick the actual point on the ellipse through OSNAP, which is the starting point of the normal line. Any help is welcomed.

Focus on the part where it describes how to use commands transparently. That is what I was talking about.
