How to draw lines in exact place when editing a title border

[Anonymous]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to draw a line that is exactly 10mm (as an example) from the edge of the sheet when editing the border of a drawing. All the normal tools for drawing is gone. I can choose line, I can draw a line, but cant figure out how to get it straight and how to get it in the exact place I want. First time setting up a template for rest of my drawings.

Hi Lone3D,

Sorry for the delay in responding to this.  Currently in the title block/border editor, we don't have the direct entry of distances/angles available (like sketch).  Because the geometry in these is typically orthogonal, you can turn on snap and drag out your line as required:

Another option would be to use Offset where you can enter 10.00 and then use trim/extend as desired to get the results you want.

Thanks,
Chris
