It's a snap-AutoCAD 2000's parallel and extend options

摘要

Captain LearnCurve thought about the tracks he had seen during a recent motorcycle ride. Deer tracks were quite common, and he'd even spotted a few bear tracks. The easiest tracks to identify, however, were those left by a train. This is another terrible lead-in to this month's topic, isn't it? Now that you mention it, the reference to railroad tracks does give me an idea for a topic. Railroad tracks are parallel, so I'll discuss the new parallel object snap in AutoCAD 2000. AutoCAD 2000's new Parallel object snap "draws a vector parallel to another object whenever AutoCAD prompts you for the second point of a vector," according to the product documentation.
