Description
The 
Points project distance command constrains the distance of two 2D points in relation to a Straight line.
Based on the line's direction (the z axis of its implicit coordinate system (ICS)) setting the distance of two points along the line means to add the distance value to the first point's z value to receive the second point's z value (and ignoring the x and y values).
Usage
- Select two points (2D or 3D).
- Select a straight line (2D or 3D).
- Activate the
Points project distance command using the:
- Points project distance button.
- Press the
