sketch line entering angle

[bmiddleton_jpc_qld_edu_au]

Hi, using the sketch environment for something a bit different, drawing force polygons to solve for resultants. The only downside is that if the students create the lines (forces) continuously the angle needing to be input changes from the angle to the horizontal with the first line, the lines after that require the angle to the last line drawn. Is there a way of locking it into wanting the angle to the horizontal for each line?

At the moment the students have to draw a line enter the length and angle then Ok the line and then start again.

thanks

I can do this in Autocad, but the students prefer the Inventor environment and the way it automatically labels the lines etc.

Hi,

The way you currently used is more like a better one. Continues drawing with line followed more like relatively with previous one, if you want obsoletely WCS drived, perhaps there is not easy to create in one step.

Thanks
