Changes the length of objects by specified delta, the value of delta is measured from the nearest end point of select objects. Users can also use this way to change angles of arcs. The value of delta is measured from the nearest end point of select arc. If the delta value is positive, the selected object will be extended, on the contrary if the delta value is negative, the selected object will be trimmed.
Sets the length of an object by a specified percentage of its total length.3
Sets the length of a selected object by setting absolute value of the total length, the total length is measured from the fixed endpoint. The Total option also specifies the included angle of a selected arc by a specified total angle.
- Angle:
Sets the included angle of the selected arc.
Turns on the Dynamic Dragging mode. Users can change the length of a selected object by dragging one endpoint, and the other endpoint remains unchanged.
