angles

[aw]

When producing a flipchart on angles I can only get the lines to rotate from the centre. Does anyone know how to make the lines lock at the end so I can show a 90 degree rotation? I hope this message makes sense!!!!

If you're in presentation mode, you should just be able to move towards then end of the line and a move icon with a line will appear. When you click on the end and drag it will spin round keeping the other end anchored. Actually, have just tried this and it also works in presentation mode, even if you have already clicked on the line and got the handles up around it.

Hi

The "lines" are intelligent - apparently :eek:

If you click on the middle of the line and drag you can move them.
If you click at either end of the line you can stretch/grow them.
You will notice that as you hover your mouse/pen over either end of the line the cursor changes and this enables you to rotate the line.

What I did recently was to give myself a big circle. Lock one line in place, at "12 o'clock" and then add another line. Rotating the second line allowed me to change the angle size which could be used for prediction and measuring using the protractor.

Hope that makes sense.....

Whoever heard of an intelligent line? :cool:
