Enable snapping with proper settings, so that you can snap the rotation center to one end of the line.
Use Selection tool and click twice (but not a double-click) to reveal the rotation center of the line. OH! I do know a way to do that.I think! Duplicate line AB or AC.
Inkscape rotate line to vertical how to#
Of course, if you need precision, this will not be a good way to do it.īut how to make a line intersecting at that point, perpendicular, without having the circle's center to connect to, I just don't know. By the time you zoom all the way back to 100%, it won't be obvious that it might not be precisely in the right place. If you then make the circle and line partially transparent, you can visually estimate the middle of the area where they intersect. At that point, the width of a 1 pixel wide line will take up the whole screen. Anyway, to find that point, you could zoom way, way in, as far as Inkscape will zoom. To find the point where the circle touches.let's say line AB or AC (I'm thinking they are tangents?). But I have potentially helpful comments, if no better other comments come along. I don't know of any way to automatically draw a line perpendicular to any other line, unless the original line is horizontal or vertical. Ok, well I suspect that druban might know some clever way to do this. Wow! Excircle is my new thing to learn for today, lol.
